@cwm1- Certainly I've seen my share of idiots too! After my first appointment with my first and present surgeon I walked out telling my husband that I didn't like him. My husband said that that wasn't important, just his skills. I've now known him for close to 22 years and love him. He was never and idiot though, just standoffish.
I'm so glad that you found your "medical home." Mine is at MGH as we do not have a Mayo Clinic near us.
We're lucky to have found these excellent doctors. To keep searching for the right ones is certainly worth the search. Don't you agree?
It sounds like you have very competent doctors advising you. I have a friend facing the same situation and her doctors are proceeding carefully for similar reasons. I, too, have small lung nodules bring “watched”. After having one type of cancer, doctors, oncologists, radiologists, are very diligent in analyzing new or existing nodules. They are trained to be suspicious of any changes and nuances that they suspect need a biopsy and leave the benign to diligent watching.
