Good luck in having a doctor talk to you in this day and age. I'm also gong to see if I can get a second opinion on the needle biopsy. I sent my dr. an email message but his nurse probably will talk to me. You pay a doctor you should be able to talk to your dr. not the staff or nurse. Years ago you could, now no.

I'm forgetting about that. I went to see the surgeon today and there is cancer in both lungs. They want to operate on one and the second one on the other lung is small but in a tricky place. He showed me everything. He was concise, pleasant and didn't try to get me in and out of his office as soon as possible. I'm 82 and also have emphysema or COPD I was told I had both. He examined me and explained what would happen when they got inside how bad it would, etc. I have to see a heart doctor tomorrow to clear me for surgery and if I'm not cleared then will have see the oncologist and I am do not want chemo. So will see. Thanks for your reply.
