Oh, good. If you have any further concerns let us know.

Good morning John. Although I am not a lung cancer patient I have experience with lung nodules, scans and biopsies. Breast Cancer was my primary diagnosis in April 2019. They did ALL the scans, body, MRI, CT before they needed a PET Scan to focus in on possible lung cancer due to "extensive nodules" (too many to county). I am a smoker. They decided on a needle biopsy (light sedation with the CT scanner guiding them to a larger nodule (23mm x 15). A tiny needle inserted between ribs and somehow they get a sample). It was painless and took only 1 hour from prep with a nurse to coming out of sedation. I forgot to mention, prior to biopsy I was told they'd try to get me 2 1/2 - 3 years (to live). I still have extensive nodules of unknown cause and don't know if they are cancerous (too small to biopsy). The larger one was an off-shoot of breast cancer. I am here 2 years and 8 months later, not really any worse off than 2019 (actually less nodules but I have cancer in my femurs from 2019 also that cause me to ache from time to time.) Don't google stuff. So much out-dated garbage on-line. I hope if you are biopsied it comes out benign, as many lung nodules I've been told are. I wish you a much better New Year.
