1 cm lung cancer tumor with COPD & emphysema: Anxious

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?

Hi thank you my surgeon appointment is tomorrow morning. Unless he has a good reason to have surgery I don’t want it. I feel fine no cough no chest congestion I have emphysema but I don’t even use a nebulizer. Thank you so much. The negative test for cancer later showed positive for AFB so I saw an infectious disease doctor who explained that further testing is needed to confirm and if it is than yes antibiotics. A lot. I can’t even produce enough from a cough which I don’t have to be tested. tomorrow will be 2 weeks since I’ve seen that Doctor.
Sorry for going on about me.
Thank you.
