@tomrennie yes. I have my list of questions from my CT results
1. New 27 mm tumor R lower lobe?
2. At what point do you intervene when new growths appear? Rate of growth, overall size? Location?
3 is there a true protocol or is it literally case by case?
4. If location of tumor is accessible is ablation first line? Ablation was never discussed with the tumor I had removed last year.
I’m totally asymptomatic but want to stay ahead of this is possible.
I welcome any suggestions for other issues I should discuss with my Dr.

@azrosegold I too get treated at Mayo Phoenix and have a pulmonologist to deal with lung issues. Your questions sound great. Have you met the pulmonologist before?
