My mother had a false positive with a needle biopsy. The surgeon removed half of her lung and was setting up chemo and radiation when the section biopsy came back benign. Should have done a frozen section in the first place…a lot of trauma and damage over nothing.

Oh no. I do think needle biopsy is not as accurate so I was wondering why my pulmo md said this was the next step after my bronchoscopy with biopsy turned out normal. How is the frozen section done? Is it thru bronch biopsy?
