An update: I am scheduled for surgery next week at Mayo. There were several reasons I chose this path. As previously mentioned, there were several approaches put forth to deal with this nodule. One treatment plan assumed the cancer type was the same as that in my removed right lung lobe. Clarification yo determine this was EBUS and another navigational bronchoscopy. However, my MRI, Petscan, and CT showed no spread and all lymph nodes taken from my right lung were clear. I'm hopeful this indicates my left nodule cancer is NOT the same as the EFGR right lung so I am proceeding with surgery,
