@rblegend50. Hello. I have melanoma and my oncologist has been watching lung nodules get larger in size. She’s recommending a biopsy which I understand. My concern is that I have severe COPD which makes a biopsy much more of a risk. Was your husband’s found through scan observations? I know I must have something done but am wondering if a bronchoscopy would be safer? If there’s anything you could share it would be much appreciated.

@uma1, I can understand your concern. Have you and your oncologist discussed pros and cons of the biopsy or other possible options?
