Respiratoralogist found a liason in upper right lung and I'm leaving for 5 months and he trying to get an emergency lung biopsy done and an apt at sunnybrook hospital. I'm feeling that I can wait till I get back. Wants me to stay home and I feel I be waiting at least 3 months for procedure so it won't make any difference. What do u think? Nothing there on my last CT scan a year ago

I think you should have a frank discussion with the doctor about why there is urgency to proceed. Then consider setting the surgical appointment for March or April and shortening your travel plans.
I do not say this lightly - some years ago I insisted on waiting until Spring for surgery, and my condition got vastly worse in the 4+ months. Recovery was very complicated. And this year, I have delayed leaving for the South until January to take care of a bad shoulder. Are you trying to leave the cold behind?
