Do some research through NIH or some of the leading Medical centers. This will generate questions for you when you see the Pulmo. Cleveland Clinic, John Hopkins, Duke, Mayo are all good places to gain more knowledge re the GGO's/GGN's

i am seeing a Pulmonologist who ordered a biopsy by bronchoscopy of two GG nodules we have been watching for 4years. Over the 4 year time period one has increased in size from. 9 mm to 16 mm. the lab report came back with no malignant cells but tissue suspicious for cancer. He has made appts. for me with a Radiology/Oncologist and a Thoracic Surgeon and a PET Ct scan. I have never been a smoker but was exposed to second hand smoke while growing up. Is this an over-reaction and a bit of over-kill? Any information would be appreciated.
