@lls8000 thank you Lisa! The nodule was found incidentally when I went for a CAT scan for pain in my right side. ( which turned out to be a small hiatal hernia) I actually didn't qualify for lung screening. It was an 8mm nodule on the scan. The tumor that was removed was 3.1 cm. I have an upcoming appt with the oncologist but it appears that it may be egfr positive with exon 19 deletion. (I am definitely learning new things)

@spotteddog , It's good to hear that they ran the biomarker testing. There is a lot to learn, and it's going to feel overwhelming, but you'll get through it. Knowing what's driving the cancer, EGFR w/ exon 19 deletion, will help to know how to treat the cancer. Let us know how the oncology appointment goes, and what they recommend. Hugs.
