Doing this in order to biopsy a 1.4 cm Pet positive, mass in lower right lung. Does anyone have any information or first hand knowledge of this procedure and post-op care? I've spoke to all the medical people, but would like to hear first hand of any experiences. Going in tomorrow in the AM. Thank you.
