Thanks guys! Glad you agree with me. I'm not fond of extra holes in by body either besides I've had such a string of bad luck recently, I'm afraid to risk anything that has a downside unless it is a necessity. Think I'll just get the bronchoscopy and only allow a biopsy if they see something they think is cancer. Will let you know how it turns out.

Take care,
Eileen
