Hi Cindy, I've been reading all the posts and I want to first welcome you to our "family".I am sorry with everything that is going on with your dad. I know how scared you all must be. This disease will hit you out of nowhere. I was glad to hear his mouth and sinuses seem to be getting better. I have involvement in my lungs, and at first first they that I had lung cancer also. They tried doing 2 needle biopsies but could not get enough to dxed. So I ended up having a partial right middle lobectomy which showed wg.At first I had several cm size nodules but with treatment they went away. I currently have 2 mm size but there was a time when I just had 1. So for them to say it is not wg because there is only 1 nodule is not true.Rituxan usually takes time to work but the pred is probably what help heal his gums and sinuses and given time it will probably clear or at least shrink that nodule. Even if you get a neg anca blood test back that does also not mean he doesn't have wg. I know you can't entirely rule out cancer but it looks more likely he has wg than anything else.I would give the meds a chance to work before you have such an invasive procedure like a lobectomy.I also go to the Cleveland Clinic and you get get in usually the same week. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family and I am sure your Dad will start to heal soon. Keep us posted
