Day visit only in my case.
Mine was a day visit too. It was quick and painless and I didn't need any recovery time.
Mine was a day, I had a 6mm dodule on Right Apex.
I’ve just been advised I have nodules up to 8mm and am having a CT scan next month. Bit worried obviously but it’s good to read that some here have had biopsies that went well
yes i agree i am worried about the biopsies but its reassuring to know many have had one now just waiting for the appointment to come hope all goes well for you
It's similar to having a CT - a needle is used to take a sample - it is not painful - so only at the hospital for a very short time. Then it's just waiting for the results which can take a while, as the lab has to check your sample, then the 'team' will discuss it. I find the waiting for the results is always the worst part.
Hi Chrissca71 , afraid my Biopsy for cancer went awry saying I will need another date to try again. However that's because of my other health issues . I am sure you won't have any problem . I did not realise they did this treatment for lung nodules too. Good luck it is only day surgery generally accepted procedure nowadays. But very worrying if you are of an anxious nature. Take Care
hi had a biopsy on my lung just over acouple of yrs ago due to lung cancer it had taken about an hr from start to finish l went home just after that and rested for a couple of days ..had a lobectomy ...in remission ...it isnt very nice having the biopsy but worth it in the end ..take care
