Suprahilar left lung mass

I have no idea what testing will be done at the Mayo Clinic. My pulmonologist said it needs to come out regardless of what it might be. No one in my hometown was qualified to do the type of surgery that he thought was needed. Thought it would be complicated. Would not do a biopsy for fear of nicking my pulmonary artery. So at this point I have to assume it’s cancer. I’ve been on 3 different antibiotics in 30 days. Last one was Levaquin. No change in lung. PET had SUV of 22.8.

Hello. I had surgery at Mayo (Phx) Oct 4. Similar situation. Nodule next to heart. Dr. Beamer successfully removed the nodule via wedge resection, RAT surgery. Excellent experience. Previous to surgery Id had a interventional bronchoscopy that determined the nodule was cancerous (NSCLC).
