I too have lung nodules in both my lungs. They did a
Pulmonary Bronchscope, tube down your throat into lungs and biopsy is done. You are asleep! Good luck

@gig666, I've had a few bronchoscopy procedures too. I've found them to be fairly easy, with a little bit of coughing after each. I'm not a big fan of coming out of anesthesia, but I'm happy to have the anesthesia when I need it. I've also been fortunate that twice the pulmonologist was able to biopsy lymph fluid, and didn't have to get all the way into lung for the nodule.
I hope you are doing well!

I had a robotic bronchoscopy last year but for some reason they only biopsied the right side and upper lobe plus about half of middle and some lymph nodes were taken out and lung was stage 1 adenocarcinoma. For some reason I'd feel "safer" doing that again!
