12 mm Spiculated Nodule upper right lobe

My cancer was found when a CT scan was done to check the heart. This was followed up with a second CT and then a PET scan was ordered. I did have a biopsy and Robotic-assisted lobectomy surgery is now set to remove the lower left lobe. I will then heal for 3 to 4 weeks and hopefully be strong enough for the angioplasty. I have meet some wonderful doctors at Mayo whom I have complete confidence in.

@char09, having confidence in your team is so important. I’m glad that you’ve found that kind of comfort and trust, especially knowing you are headed toward future procedures.
Being a never smoker, a mutation may be driving your cancer. Do you know if they sent your initial biopsy for biomarker testing? If not, they’ll likely test the lobectomy tissue for any known mutations.
