Connie B Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Laurene, this is the protocal for nodules. What they are offering you is very normal. Your insurance may not pay otherwise. Being you don't have lung cancer, or any other kind of cancer, this protocal is six months for 3 years and yearly after that for one or two years. Some doctor's can push one or two through but as I said, your insurance might not approve. Check with your insurance. Please go and read the posts under Nodules(In the General Forum). I know we have shared this information with you a few times before, as did the Experts months back with you, but I know how it is to forget things.

Snowflake Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Just a suggestion, but if you are not comfortable, get a second opinion (or third, or fourth...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
