Also just wanted to add that I have more tests coming, like a Heart stress test, etc . I am scheduled to have a minimally invasive segmentectomy of my left upper lobe. 2 segments instead of a lobectomy. That is on March 24th. So it will be close to 3 months between lung screening and surgery. Lots of tests to make sure of where and what you have. Pulmonary function test to see if a candidate for surgery, etc. That may seem like a long time but it is flying by so quickly! Hope that helped answer your other question🙏
The best advise I can give you is what a Dr told me, don’t use Dr Google! Only use reliable sources like Mayo Clinic, Cleavland Clinic, UCLA, Harvard, etc. .coms are not usually reliable. I know I have been researching since January and at times overwhelmed myself with information. Then you have to look up things to figure out what the last thing meant. You can drive yourself crazy! The best thing is to talk with your doctors. Write down a question as soon as it pops in your head because it will be replaced with another question 5 minutes later. Also this Mayo Clinic connect is a great place to find answers. I hope you get your answers soon. Even if they are not the answers you want it is still better that they are answered and then you can plan your next steps! God Bless you!🙏
