Lung Nodule - Biopsy tomorrow - Scared!

Post a new topicby pattyd on Mon Feb 18, 2008 11:54 pm


Hi -

I am having a needle biopsy of a lung nodule tomorrow morning. I have smoked for 32 years. I am wondering if anyone else has done this and what happens afterwards? I am scared stiff. I have a 10 year old son and I am a widow! I keep telling myself not to worry yet, but I am worried. Will they take it out? How will they know if it has spread? My bones hurt...could it have gone to my bones? If they take it out will I have to have chemo and radiation? I am all alone! Help!
