Mine was 42mm and they used ultrasound guidance. I cant imagine why they wouldn't use ultrasound guidance for every FNA?

Y&W 2 months is too long to be "slightly concerned". If he doesn't know by now what it is, or what the next step is to investigate what it is, its time to go to a major town with a better doctor.

Remember what I said about coping with long periods of uncertainty during the diagnosis? Well I didn't mean wait this long! Anyway its up to you how you want to handle it, I'm sure we're not getting the full picture of what the doctor is thinking.

Hopefully you're in your second month as a non smoker? If you need reminding how important that is, have a look at our signatures. Cancer isn't a lottery, and once you have it you don't quietly fade out in a morphine haze. Whether you survive or not no one gets an easy ride.
