It came back possitive for cancer. This 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.

@dablues82 , I’m sorry to hear this, and wish you would have received better news. For now, focus on what’s right in front of you, the collapsed lung, be aware of any changes in your breathing. Which is tough I’m sure. It hard to breathe normally when you get news like this.
Generally the next step would be a PET scan. When is your next appointment where you can ask some additional questions? Hugs.
