mam12198 Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I’m scheduled for my biopsy Monday the 29th. Broncoscopy (spelling?) and needle. I’m scared to death what the results will be but I will fight if it’s cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rower Michelle Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Hello and Welcome We understand what you are going through, we’ve been through the diagnostic process that somehow seems to take longer than it should, the waiting is miserable so it’s important to acknowledge the emotional roller coaster, not stuff it in, keep living your life as best as you can until you have a definitive diagnosis. During this period it’s really important not to get too far ahead of yourself, take it one day at a time, one hour at a time if necessary. Whatever you do stay away from Dr Google right now- it won’t be helpful. Ask whatever questions you want here, there’s a lot of experience all around on this forum. We’re here for each other. Hang in there. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irka Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thank you very much, Michelle. I'd been doing much better but had an auto accident yesterday. Something of a set-back but no major injury & no one else hurt. Just down in the dumps. I've put up a new post regarding this dreadful experience & hope you'll be able to see it. With gratitude, Irka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roz Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Irka, I have had both procedures. The transthoracic (CT guided) lung biopsy done by an interventional radiologist and the endobronchoscopy is done by a medical oncologist. In my case, neither procedure accurately diagnosed what was going on. I didn't have difficulty recovering from other procedure. Best, Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
