Oh dear. You have your hands full. But your health is most important. These small lesions should come out whether they are bio-siblie or not. Do you have a sympathetic doctor? You need someone to hold you together! Thisistoo much worry. See if there is a social worker who can help.Good luck....

Thanks. The reason that they aren’t removing them without a biopsy is that if they are metastatic triple negative breast cancer, removing them isn’t the proper treatment. So they would be removing a portion of my lung for no good reason. If it turns out to be the TNBC, the oncologist and physicians asst. are wonderful and sympathetic. If it turns out to be lung cancer, that's a different story. While I think the oncologist and surgeon are excellent in most ways, I just don’t think the mental aspects of this are their strong suit. But I am going to Mayo Jax and I know the drs there are so far superior to anyone local that there is no question I want to continue with them. I initially started out locally with the breast cancer. They totally missed the lump when they tried to biopsy, did not call with results, and it was a comedy of errors from the getgo. I was so furious and disgruntled that I called Mayo the second I walked in the door after the surgeon appt and never looked back. I did go and see a local psychologist one time. Frankly, I thought he was an idiot. When I thought about it, I should have expected that considering who recommended him.
