Hi I’m in the process of meeting with a thoracic surgeon I too have a lung nodule 1cm that grew in three months. Originally they found a nodule the PET scan lit up but a biopsy obtained during bronchia scope was negative for cancer. Another ct scan in December showed it grew but AFB was found from biopsy. Going to doctor for that but not coughing still haven’t coughed up anything to be tested. I see the surgeon Tuesday I feel ok

Oh that's just great. I am so happy for you. I wasn't able to have a biopsie for some reason so surgery will determine whether it is cance or not. I hope not but I am just thrilled for you. I have no cough or symptoms. I speak with a pulmonologist on monday then a nuclear stress test on Wednesday and if that goes well the surgery the following Tuesday.

In the meantime I am walking, exercising and reading and loving everyone I know as much as I can.

Just thrilled for you

Welcome @linr, I'm glad they didn't find cancer cells. That's good news, but those lung nodules can be made up of many other scary things too. AFB, acid-fast bacteria, could be tuberculosis (TB) or another mycobacterial infection, correct? Would they treat that with an antibiotic?
How did the surgeon appointment go? Are they still talking surgery after seeing the result of the biopsy?
