Can anyone tell me how Dr can say no cancer and we still wait for biopsy results? Pathologist was with Pulmonologist during bronchoscopy and looked at sample?

Pattymac.... you said Pathologist was present...am guessing he felt comfortable telling you non cancer by visual appearance...by palpation...they might have done a frozen section immediately but always follow up with final biopsy report ....terridrell

@pattymac Often a biopsy is used to detect problems other than cancer. I'm not sure what it might in your case. Once you get the results you should have your answer. Teresa
