Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your kind and professional response.
-Nodule is 1.4x1.4, mildly spiculated
-was 1.2X 0.8 during last scan like 5 months ago
-Lightly spiculated
French pulmonologist was absolutely categoric it should not be biopsied but antibiotic for a month then repeat a scan
-Biopsy was ordered by thoracic surgeon
-Important detail, the CT scan who shows the nodule growth was done 15ish days after i return from a long trip in Thailand, lot of ppl were sick in the plane and i got sick, like really sick, coughing like crazy for 2 weeks after i returned.
-i explain this to the surgeon who booked the biopsy and he did not react
- Personal research and talk with French pulmonologist show it is a relevant information who could/might have oriented in a different direction than biopsy since risks of infection in this part of the world are a real thing.
- I will see another pulmonologist in the US this Friday...
Voila...
Best and thank you

@democrite, I'm just checking in. I hope you received some additional information and have the details that you need. Did the additional appointment provide any helpful information? Have you made a decision yet on the biopsy or waiting for another scan?
