I have a ground glass lesion, and the Oncology Dr (specializes in Nodules!!) said biopsy is impossible as they are lacey along the edges and hard to get tissue from. They are watching it; I return in June. The followup PET scan showed an axillary lymph node issue, though, and not the lesion. I had the lymph node "punch" biopsied a couple months ago but now the Dr wants an excision biopsy where they remove it. I have to arrange with the GP. Having another followup thyroid CT.

Please let us know what you learn, Mary.

@marye2- Good morning. It sounds as if you have everything at hand here. Lungs are pretty dicey when it comes to biopsies and nodules and all of the organs that they are close to. I've had to forgo biopsies for those reasons also. An auxiliary lymph node is a lymph node in the armpit that drains the lymph from the breast area and other surrounding areas.

When will the biopsy be done?
