Multiple lung nodules: Might they be noncancerous? What next?

Vic..if you are on an anticoagulant for blockage it would have to be stopped before any surgery....Is the stent working well enough for you to go off the med for surgery??? I have heart issues too (15 years ago major heart attack) and it complicates everything but I went off the blood thinners a few weeks before I had the LLL surgery.

I did not do stent because I was in middle of workup for lung mass. Cardiologist said it was OK to put me on medication to treat blockage while I determine what is lung problem. That is not the same medication one has with stent placement. Antiplatelet therapy is required for 6 or more months and cannot be interrupted. For lung surgery they only had me stop low dose aspirin and Lozol for one day. I kept taking the IMDUR and TOPROL XL and Atorvastatin.
