Her doctor is better able to answer this question, but either way it is not uncommon for metastatic breast cells to invade or irritate the lungs . . she probably has cancer cells in or growing on the lungs which can cause fluid to build up. Metastatic cancer cells irritate the pleura or lining of the lungs causing the fluid. Cancer is nasty business. Many cancers that have mets to the lungs respond in the same way. Hope her doctors can get this under control quickly.

Probably the cancer. I was 6 months pregnant and caught a virus then I got bell's palsy. The Dr. said the virus attacks your nerves to cause bell's palsy. He said since my immune system was weaken due to being pregnant that is why the virus was able to do that. Her immune system is definitely weakened, so I assume that is why. I dont think the steroids would cause bell's palsy. In fact they often give steriods to help treat it. However, I can be wrong so you should speak with a medical professional(other than the DR) to elaborate
