Monday's appointment was rather disappointing. Not in the way you would think. I was hoping for confirmation of spread of the beast or confirmation things were okay. But, the doctor couldn't really give me either. He said I have to have a biopsy of the lymph nodes.
Last year I had three surgeries that involved my chest (lung removal, biopsy, port placement) so there is quite a bit a scar tissue - as a result they don't want to do the typical biopsy surgery. Instead, I am having an Endobronchial Ultrasound. Basically, they put me to sleep, then go down my mouth and gather the samples they need.
The biopsy is scheduled for 4/14/15 at 7:00 a.m. and then I have an appointment with the oncologist 4/23/15 to discuss results and what to do next.
