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.

My pulmonologist told me surgery was a possibility. That if the surgeon felt thats what was needed he would do that. I know my pulmonologist was a little surprised tho…
I want to find another pulmonologist though, as my current one hasn’t done any additional testing. I am just on Wixela and Albuterol. Its hard find a Dr that understands MAC
