My biopsy results show a few suspect cells but not a definitive answer. This morning, the consultant offered another biopsy or a lobectomy. I asked what they would recommend but they would not say!! The offending nodule is in a very hard to find place. I opted for surgery - have I been too hasty?

  • Hello again ,

    It's a bit of a conundrum isn't it?

    I think if it was me I'd make the same decision. It's obviously suspicious and if your consultant is offering a lobectomy they must think along the same lines. 

    It's quite common for them to offer a few of options but not get off the fence and recommend one.

    I hope all goes well for you.

  • Thank you. I did get the impression he was steering me towards surgery but isn't allowed to say directly!!
