@californiazebra The lung tumor that grew and they did a needle biopsy on....I'm just wondering what lobe was that one in, and did they remove it?

I just looked it up. Left lower lobe 2.8 cm. They all grew over those 12 years but this one the most. They destroyed just that tumor with microwave ablation. They can’t remove mine surgically because I have so many. Surgery takes healthy tissue too. Ablation area is just slightly larger than the tumor. I posted a message on this thread a few hours ago about the ablation. More detail there.
If you have one tumor, surgical removal is the gold standard.
