Hi Brian, I met with a thoracic surgeon regarding the spot in my right lung which (previously mentioned) has been showing up in CT Scans. Prior follow-up PETs in that area did not light up. Recent CT shows it 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 procedure (portion of lung removed) to get it out and see what it is...... Any advice as to how to proceed? Thanks in advance. Jack
