thoughtprocess @thoughtprocess and @susies215. On March 19th I had chest CT Scan. They found 1cm spiculated node and 3 other nodes in upper right lobe. Two were 4mm and one was 5mm. They weren't there 7 months ago during a previous CT of my lungs. two more 4mm nodes in left upper lobe. My Oncologist said he does not believe the 1cm node is a node at all. He thinks I have an infection. the node sits right behind or on top of blood vessels. He stated a needle biopsy would be too risky since it's still too small for a biopsy. He called the pathologist while I was in his office and presented his opinion. At the end of the call, he told me the pathologist was still convinced it was a spiculated node, but he stands firm it's not. He started me on AMOX/CLAV 875mg and 125mg. He saw me through two previous cancers, so I trust him. He asked me to give the antibiotics a chance. I have had a very productive cough for a couple of weeks. He said if I didn't have a cough, he'd be more concerned. He's ordered another CT in 6 weeks. I asked him point blank, " If he's wrong, will waiting 6 weeks affect my mortality and he said No, it wouldn't." If he's right, however, he believes he's saving me from a very risky biopsy. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
