Lung biopsy yesterday

I had a lung biopsy yesterday for a 11 mm nodule that grew from 7 mm two years a go. Per the PET Scan SUV 0.7 - suspicious for BAC Cancer. My left lung collapsed and I have a drain tube in my chest until Monday. The doctor called me today to tell me that the biopsy results show NO cancer. I was in shock and disbelief since the doctors were sure it was cancer. Thank you everyone for all your comments to me on this site. I wish you all the best. God bless you all and I hope all goes well with all of you. Hugs & love, |

I am so glad it wasn't cancer, and a biopsy is the only way to rule that out. I know the lung collapse is a common occurance with the biopsys, and I hope you'll be re inflated very soon. I wish you well. Lori

When things show up on a CAT scan, the first fear I think most of us have is that it is lung cancer. Doctors are aware that several things can cause nodules that show up on a scan. Some are way better than cancer (like an infection that is easily cleared up with antibiotics). Some are just as bad. But obviously the watchful waiting, as stressful as it probably was for you, was well justified in your case. I hope whatever your nodule was is easily fixed. Thanks for sharing!
