Hi all, just met with thoracic surgeon regarding spot in lung which has been showing up in CTs. Recent PET in that area also lit up. Has grown a little since last August CT scan. I have been told it is not a candidate for needle biopsy. Suggestion is to undergo a VATS treatment to get it out and see what it is...... Any advice as to how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

SCC left tonsil dx 8/15/09. finished 7 weeks chemo and rad. on 11/20/09. PEG tube 9/18/09 to 4/17/10. HPV 16+; non-smoker. CT Scan and F/up PET on 4/5/11 showed positive mass in R. Lung. Surgically removed and biopsy negative 5/16/11.
