Been watching 2 small lung nodules for the last year or so .... one growing from appox 5mm to 8mm the other from 6mm to 10mm .....consulted with Thoracic surgeon today, he says it's time to take them out via VATS or treat with CyberKnife. (Colorectal onc is pushing for a biopsy first) I am inclined to get them "outta here" and skip the biopsy.
So for you VATS people how difficult is the surgery ? My surgeon says 2 days in the hospital then 2 weeks recovery at home.....how painful is this ? What about the recovery ?
Do you all concur with skipping the biopsy and going direct to VATS ?
