@kathyjjb Hi Kathy,
The Dr. did not tell me the size of the nodule in the phone call and I forgot to ask. I am picking up a copy of the report today where I had the PET scan, so hopefully that will tell me. I am scheduled for Bronchoscopy/Biopsy Nov. 25th. I had a no change CT last March and then I had one beginning of Sept and that showed the first new spot. He put me on an antibiotic and then I waited a month and had another CT and that's when he saw the second one. Thanks for replying, will keep you posted. I have strong faith and a lot of friends praying for me so feeling hopeful. Have a nice weekend. Barb

@bbeers Hi Barb, I have never asked in the past about size but started to recently after learning size is important along with the rate of growth. Half the time anti-biotics don't work on me. I now send my sputum samples to NJH, since they will test for everything and then do susceptibility and determine which anti-biotic will work best. That's good to hear you got scheduled for the Bronchoscope-yes. definitely keep me posted. I certainly believe in the power of pray, I will pray for you as well. Thank you, and you have a nice weekend as well! Kathy
