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🙏

Yes, thanks and good luck on your lobectomy. I have already had a nuclear stress test and an echocardiogram...and did fine with both. I'm scheduled for the PET scan tomorrow (if they don't cancel due to snow storm) and a pulmonary function test on 3/13. I do need labwork done waiting to hear when Dr. wants it done. I have a follow up with pulmonologist on 3/29 (have not seen an onco yet).
