Pericardial Effusion

My father had 1 liter of fluid drained from around his heart and they said it mostly contained blood. They are telling him he cannot have any more chemo. Is anyone familiar with pericardial effusion? They are trying to figure out if it is the cancer that has caused it or if it is something else.
