Biopsy for a Lung Nodule

Went to see a thoracic surgeon yesterday and she has recommended a biopsy and PET CT Scan. I am scared to do the biopsy.

Looking for feedback on your experience with lung nodules and biopsies and if the results were benign malignant.

These are my CT scans I have done. This nodule was an incidental finding.
