Good news……my bronchoscopy was cancelled. Repeating the CT scan in 2 months. I will come back here to the Mayo Clinic. My hometown hospital was ready to do surgery. So glad for second opinions. And I’m sure the time has allowed the “infection” to decrease the size of my mass. From almost 4 cm to 1.9 cm. Good luck to everyone else here. Mayo Clinic is the best!

Great!!!!
And an important lesson. Get a second opinion from respected qualified source. Because the procedure offered you at Mayo (robotic bronchoscopy) has fewer complications than a CT guided needle biopsy.
It is important to understand what the various diagnostic and treatment options for cancer are and which institutions offer them. Unfortunately, that is not easy to do when one is presented with a sudden problem and little time to research.
