Several 6mm nodules found in both upper lobes...

To add to my lung NETs/DIPNECH story, most of my 50+ lung nodules were 1 cm or less when first seen. I refused an open biopsy. 12 years later the largest one was 2.6 cm so I agreed to the needle biopsy they could now do. That tumor was destroyed using non-surgical microwave ablation. I will likely have more ablations for any that reach 2 cm or behave differently from the others. After decades of issues nothing has spread outside my lungs.

Zebra, where did you have the ablation performed? I notice your username states you're in California and I'm in California as well. I've had several lung nodules treated with radiation and my radiologist has informed me she doesn't feel it's safe to continue to radiate any more. I'm seen at UCSF and my oncologist doesn't seem to feel that ablation is helpful or knows much about it. I have what looks like another nodule becoming malignant and I think I'm going to investigate ablation this time.
