This is the way mine was supposed to go. A biopsy first. The surgeon said since my lung was not getting better in spite of prednisone and 2 doses of antibiotics, (not the big 3) he just cut the section out. My pulmonologist wasn’t happy since he just wanted a biopsy. I do not have any symptoms, and am just taking wixela and Albuterol. I just wonder if I’m “cured” or I need to do more.

You should definitely see an infectious disease doctor too and have at least sputum tests done
Jesus, jbud12, can they do that? Just switch up a biopsy to a lobectomy? Don't the surgeon and the hospital need informed consent to do that? It sounds like the stuff of public radio exposés and long-term lawsuits. Maybe it's time to call Mayo or NJH. Good luck going forward.

Do you feel a lot better after the surgery?
