Thank you or your reply. I duscussed this firther with the surgeon and we have decuded to hi with a wedge, then bioosy and stop there. Thalen we will lnow more and i will heal and discuss any further treatment when i k ow exactly what i am dealing with. Nodule is 9mm and has griwn 1mm over 2 months. I would rather nit wait any longer to go ahead with a wedge and find out exactly what i will be dealing with. Hopefully I may not need any further surgery but if i do i will have more time to decide next steos abd what timeline will be. With my early stage emphazima, dr says even with lobectomy i will onlu lose 5% of breathing and this will improve over a couple of months. I feel more comfortable getting a biopsy furst as opposed tp radiation where i will never know whst it is. Surgery will be set for end of month and i will know more then after a biopsy. Heres hoping. I must remain positive here. Thanks so much.
