      I was notified yesterday that a biopsy will be performed. Just wondering if they are going to biopsy why not take the whole thing out?? I failed to mention yesterday there is a smaller node on my right lung too . My doctor is concerned more about the one on my left. No surgery date has been set. The whole waiting thing sucks but I have to be patient. I just recently became a dad for the first time! So that keeps me upbeat!!

      I guess the scariest part is them going into the lungs and then waiting again to find out if it is met… I thank you all for your words and hearing your experiences. I just joined the organization two days ago and found it extremely helpful!
