2.2 cm nodule RLL, wasn't there at all last year.

We did the biopsy yesterday, so just waiting. Had a bit of trouble at the end of the procedure, but the chest x-rays ruled out collapsed lung or puncture. They shared it was probably the nerve being hit/irritated as the needle went between the ribs. It eased up a lot over night but still being felt in a minor, annoying way. But initially, it was as strong as the chest pain I had experienced during my heart attack last year.

Hi @aoifet - goodness that sounds rough. I'm glad you got through it and I hope you'll get the answers you need soon. I wish there was more attention on how difficult and painful some of these diagnostic procedures are. I opted for a bronchoscopy, and still ended up with a collapsed lung and a hospital stay. Take good care of yourself today.
