@d41king, did you decide to seek a second opinion?

Yes. I am awaiting a team evaluation. Expect some news today

@d41king– Great news! Will you please let us know?

You bet

The Team that reviewed my case recommended that I have surgery and get it out once and for all rather than watching it over time. I am in agreement (rather tan my wife and I walking on eggshells for the next 5 years), so now trying to get a schedule to have this thing removed.

@d41king – Good news for both you and your wife! I think that I would feel relief. I might have sounded hesitant about this but only because your doctors suggested the wait. With my type of lung cancer, I get more than one nodule in my lung at a time and I was relieved when I was told that my doctors would zap my third and fourth lesion with proton radiation. And it was.
I know that this is close to your spine. Are you feeling any pain from it? Other than r Oncologist will you need any other physician to check it out? Please keep us updated. How are you feeling about this?

Thanks Merry. I have no pain or symptoms so am optimistic about the outcome either way

@d41king– I know what you mean.

I ended up getting a second opinion and we had decided that even though I was low risk, my Dr would go ahead and remove the nodule. Due to the corona virus, the surgery was deemed elective so the early April surgery was postponed. I had a scan In mid May which showed no change as far as anyone could tell. A team will review the scan later this week, but it appears I may simply get another scan in 6 months

@d41king– This is very good news. And at least they are keeping an eye on you until it can be removed!

Thanks Merry!

The Team agreed that I can wait 6 months for a new scan. No surgery!
