@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?

Hi Lisa,
Thank you for checking in !
I saw a Pulmonologist 2ish weeks ago in the US. We decide together to delay the biopsy. I am currently finishing a 1-month antibiotics treatment (prescribe by the pulmonologist i saw in France). I'm having a new CT Scan on Tuesday morning, follow in the afternoon with an appointment with US pulmonologist (and probably as well her colleague biopsy Surgeon) and we will make the appropriate decision depending CT scan results = based on my understanding if (like French Doc says) nodule shrank due to antibiotics = infection = nothing and if nodule stable/bigger = Biopsy then more actions/surgeries depending results. It is still a very stressful situation "seating between 2 chairs" as we say in French but i guess I'm well handed by a team of professionals so voila. Thank you for your support and kindness
