More questions;
If my 8mm nodule grows ,3 months from now in a Ct & PET scan , how do they biopsy it ,being so dangerous. My regular doctor said " at 83 you probably cant take surgery ,too risky, so we have to get a specialist in for reccomendations"
How do they radiate a small nodule..in right upper lobe..

I am 80 and I just did VAT Surgery on lung. I am doing well. Look for someone who does Video Assisted Thoracic surgery where they make just 3 incisions

I will let you know more about this next week after my CT scan....I had bronchoscopies and biopsies when first diagnosed and I am not sure why I had so many different diagnostic procedures (3 growths back then...) but I think one of the nodules then (as now) was somewhere on my right lung. It was not cancer then. I hope you are working with a cancer facility like Mayo, Moffitt (me), MD Anderson, Sloan Kettering. Good luck to us both.
