jessicahsmom Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 Hello everyone, my mom finally got her lung biopsy yesterday. They were able to get 4 biopsies from her airways. The couldn't really get down to the mass, seems part of the mass has pushed through the the lung and out in her airways. After her breathing test Tuesday the doctor said she would not be a candidate for surgery. The mass is in both lobes of her right lung and would require full removal of the lung. The doctor was also concerned with her vocal chords being swollen, she is thinking it might be from all of moms coughing. Her left lung looked clear and she said that was very good. I have to call her Monday afternoon for the results of the biopsy. She will then have mom go in for a PET scan. We are praying that the cancer has originated from the lung and no where else and the PET scan comes back ok. I will keep you updated and thanks for all the help. Jessica Quote
