Hi, thanks so much for checking. So when he first came in he said I’m not so sure this is cancer. Then sent me down for another scan. When he saw that one, he said he agrees that could be. He said the scan was much clearer in penn’s department vs. cooper hospital. What was so confusing is that the interventional pulmonologist that referred me to him saw the first scan & was 80% sure of cancer.
Surgeon then said it’s reasonable to do surgery now or wait till the fall. Who would want to wait 3 more mths with cancer probably growing. So surgery is scheduled for July 28th. Now I have many tests & appts. The waiting is such a head trip.
Thanks so much for checking on me, from being in this group you know how very much that means!

PS. I have a nodule on my thyroid that has grown. Seeing specialist next week for that….
