upset caregiver: what do these results mean?

MondY its only for consultation. It almost sounds like they're not doing a Biosopy and going right to the surgery. I'm not a dr. That's just my guess.
I realize we're not the only patients.
We were just surprised that they went from the palm palmlogists to a surgeon W /o notifying us. Not that we had to be. Itll be another few days of going nuts, and being scared. Not to mention the "what ifs".

@scared2 If you feel that everything is moving along too quickly, you have the right to say “wait!” Tel the doctor that you need to understand what is going on and what the plan is. And why the pulmonologist is sending your husband to a surgeon. Each doctor probably assumes that the other has done explanations and answered questions. The doctor may get irritated, but he’s not the one having surgery!
Pull out the journal you’ve been using, and start writing what you need to know. Everything! My husband keeps a journal of every visit, what is saiid,etc. You’ll feel much better when you take some control! I know you can do it! Will you let me know how your visit to the surgeon goes?

I’d be scared too if I had to operate with little or no informed like your having to do. I’d find a new doctor. There is nothing wrong with i having a second opinion anyway.
