So my pulmonologist called me. The consensus of the tumor board is to biopsy now. Even though it’s a tricky area to get to( near aorta) because of my history better to biopsy now.
Waiting to get next appointment with interventive pulmonologist.

Update, I met with the interventional pulmonologist from the tumor board. He’s recommending I wait 3 months for another scan due to the location & size. He doesn’t feel confident that he can get it.
Very confusing because I was told the consensus of the tumor board was to biopsy now & not wait.
He said he’ll do it if I want to, but if he’s not confident why would I be.
So I have reached out to a Dr at upenn( I live near there) for second opinion. He has 89% success rate of getting to hard to reach nodules. Can take a couple weeks to get appt.
So, to be continued.
