Biopsy Needed For Lungs

The respirologist where I live, (Barrie, Ontario) told me that I needed a biopsy, but they did a bronchoscopy to take a biopsy of the nodules. The nice part is that it’s just light sedation, but you don’t remember any of it.
Hopefully, they will choose that for you💗

I had a needle biopsy and of course the lung collapsed. They sent me home with a partial collapse and I got my report tonight which is cancern. Here is the report. Final Diagnosis

A. Lung, Left Upper Lobe Nodule, Core Needle Biopsy:
Adenocarcinoma, moderately to poorly differentiated, consistent with pulmonary origin; see comment.

Comment:
The biopsy shows lung tissue infiltrated by cytologically malignant epithelioid cells forming glands with some possible solid areas. Immunostains show that the malignant cells are positive for CK7, CEA, TTF-1, and Napsin, and are negative for GATA3 and p63.

The findings are consistent with pulmonary adenocarcinoma, which shows acinar and possibly solid architectural patterns in this material.
