If the pulmonologist does want this, I feel like that is a drastic move for a lesion that has shrunk by 50% in 6 weeks? (And, yes, I know I am worrying about this prematurely.)
Someone has to be the bulldog Lindsey. If it is one thing I've learned with this stupid disease is that there is no ONE textbook. We each are writing our own as we go along. As authors of our own history, we need to make sure we are our strongest advocates for ourselves and/or our loved ones. So go get 'em! (-8
