Altitude change after lung biopsy/bronchoscopy

I will be having robotic surgery on July 11 to have the NETs cancer removed from my RLL, I met with the surgeon last week and asked how long after surgery should I wait before I could fly and he said, atleast one month after surgery, and, depending upon how I have healed. Two weeks sounds reasonable but if it were me, I'd probably give it another week.
Just a heads up - lung biopsies are not pleasant. Have you looked into it so as to prepare yourself?

Thanks so much for the info. Hope the surgery and recovery go as smoothly as possible.

This is my first lung biopsy, although my mother had them post transplant. What do you recommend to help mentally prepare?
