Mass on lung and lymph nodes

My wife age 71, a non smoker, had a biopsy (by way of her throat into the left lung,) for biopsy… lung cancer detected on tiny mass and some surrounding lymph nodes. She had no prior symptoms, and the biopsy was painless.
We are awaiting the oncologist and radiologist plans of attack, tomorrow.

Hi @stormmayo1, I hope she is recovering from the procedure. A cough is to be expected, especially if they had to go farther into the lung or took several samples. I've had three bronchoscopy biopsies over the years. Each was different, but all came with a cough afterward.
Did the oncologist outline the next steps, possibly a PET scan?
