Cavitary lesion and wall thickness ?

Posted by jewel8888 @jewel8888, Mar 15, 2017

Hi there, im new to this groip. Last year i had a 3 month review for an upper left lobe cavitary lesion. Bronchospy couldn't reveal any information, the lesion isi5n difficult spot to get enough sample. Three months ago thr next CT scan revealed the size was the same but the wall thickness is a bit smaller than before. My next CT is soon and i want to be prepared with questions but dont know where to begin. I have RA and psoriatic arthritis, and also suffered a fall before all this started. Please let me know if you have any suggestions....i see the cardio/thoracic surgeon in a couple weeks and he said if not smaller they want to get me in surgery....thank you
