Hi@mamajite. Yes, I go to the city of hope on Friday to talk to the pulmonologist. I am certain he is going to say from the report and what I tell him that it does not look good and more than likely I have a malignancy. Im almost certain he will say that. Did you ever have several nodules on your imaging? I dont think they will do a biopsy yet as they are still small. Your right, there is novel drugs out for non small cell but you do still have those where the cancer rejects the treatment and such or if you have small cell which is very aggressive and mutates and evades treatment. Lung cancer is still very dangerous, why it is still number 2 death worldwide. Would you have any questions that you can recommend to me, so I can ask the provider? Thank you so much for your response.

@joe88 I like this suggested list of questions to ask your doctor from the American Cancer Society. They have a printable copy of it, too. It's pretty exhaustive, so you can choose what seems pertinent for you.

When my nodules were found in 2018 I had "35-40". 🤕 (My situation is more unusual. I was born with a genetic mutation, EGFR T790M, that makes it easy to develop lung cancer.)
