hi @marysmith83 - in the words of Tom Petty, the waiting is the hardest part. it took me about a month to have my bronchoscopy after a suspicious CT scan. they told me right after surgery that I had cancer, so they can test as soon as they have the tissue sample. then they sent that sample to a special lab to determine what genetic mutations my tumors had - to best match them with available treatments. that took about 2 weeks to get back. in the meantime, do your best to stay healthy. eat/sleep well and try not to catch any respiratory pathogens (that could delay your surgery/worsen your symptoms). I wear a KF94 or N95 mask in public.
