I had the Aliya on one nodule (there are several) at the same time as the biopsy, April 23, 2026. I'm 78 and they didn't want to put me under twice. The biopsy was inconclusive, atypical cells, possibly cancer. There had been an increase in size from November to March, from .9 cm to 1.8 cm. I had a CT scan on 5/15. There was some reduction in size, maybe 30%, but it was too early to say. The neighboring nodule, untreated, also had a similar reduction. CT was supposed to be 3 months later, but mis-communication between hospital where I get my imaging done, and pulmonologist. I travel to San Francisco for treatment, 130 miles away. The plan is to have another CT scan done in 3 months. I have experienced some shortness of breath, but am also on Immunotheraoy, Nivolmab, which I have been on for 3 years. I'm also 6 months post surgery for pancreatic cancer.
Bottom line, right now, I feel ok. I'm concerned about the breathing issue, but the procedure was done as an outpatient and was easy on me. Still checking and following up on shortness of breath issue. I hope that your procedure goes well. I will post what I learn if anything changess and post 3 mo. CT.
