hi @dgulovsen - sorry to hear you're dealing with lung nodules. A general rule of thumb is when nodules are smaller than 1cm, they can be difficult to biopsy, so often doctors will watch and wait. That said, I would also want an increasing nodule checked asap.

Is this the place you're trying to reach?

I recommend calling the main appointment line for the cancer center directly - and telling them you would like to see a pulmonologist or thoracic oncologist. And see if you can get an appointment faster that way.

Let us know how it goes - hang in there!

I believe it was the lung nodule clinic. Its all part of Smilow. There is no answer. You have to leave your name and then they return the call-but it isn't the front desk its another answering service that tries to contact them.
