I’m glad it went well for you. No complications I assume.
May I ask if you were smoking at the time the biopsy was done? It really scares me because my COPD is severe.

When they did the biopsy I had a pneumothorax they put a chest tube in and I stayed in the hospital 4 days. They put me on 4 liters of oxygen to help my lung fill .Yes I was smoking at the time .I also have severe emphysema along with COPD.I also have diabetes it may not be bad for you I am also 72 years old. Hope all goes well for you ,,Brenda

Hate to admit it but yes. I was smoking at the time. And there were no complications.
