I agree, 100%.
Let me say, they did a fine needle aspiration on one of the nodules. But here is my concern with that, even though it came back negative for malignancy. I dont trust it. The chances of false negative are higher than we know, with FNA. Also, it was sent to ONE pathologist, right there at the hospital that the biopsy was done at and the result was back in 1 day. When my daughter was diagnosed, it was sent to 4 major cancer hospital pathology labs. I could go on and on about "false negatives" and their impact on the patient after a second biopsy was done and came back malignant. And all of these were on people I personally know. So not just something Im reading on a website that happened to someone I dont know. I know every one of these people. Thank GOD, they advocated for themselves, because every single one of them came back as cancers. Breast, rare uterine, prostate, etc. Cancer is very rampant in my family as well. Lung, stomach, colon, bladder, kidney and my daughter had non Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Its just wild.... I finally told my pulmonologist to think of me as his mother, sister, wife and asked him what would he be doing different at this point. I am 49 years old. On oxygen and having these issues. I have grandkids. And yes, the not knowing is reeking havoc on my mental health. Some kind of bad.
