One month wait for lung biopsy normal?

Hi @marysmith83, Are you waiting for the biopsy procedure, or waiting for the results of the biopsy? Either way a month isn't all that unusual. When we want answers now, the hardest part is often the waiting. As long as you aren't experiencing symptoms (cough, wheezing, etc.) a month is likely not going to change the clinical nature of whatever is being biopsied. That said, I know that the waiting is unsettling. I try to focus on what I know for sure. There is something there that needs more investigation, but we don't know it's something bad. Most nodules are not cancerous. Have you a had a CT that showed something of concern, a nodule?

Hi, thank you for your response. Im waiting to get the biopsy procedure. My last ct scan showed a 13 mm spiculated nodule in one lung and a cyst in the other. Previous ct scans (last one a year ago) did not show these. I was being watched with Ct scans because of a few (non spiculated) nodules that were, and still are, less than 3 mm and stable.
