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?

I had a lung biopsy about four years ago. The procedure itself was pretty easy and painless. Mentally preparing was the hard part. I just tried to accept that the procedure was going to tell me what was already going on and that it was information I needed to know. My results were positive for malignant net tumors and I ended up having to have the middle and lower lobes of my right lung removed. That procedure was also painless and I waa up and walking pain free about two hours after the procedure was completed. I hope your biopsy tests results are good. Best wishes! You can do it.
