I am in the process of being dx'd with NSCLC and am wondering if anyone else has had a biopsy through their back? This is a distinct possibility for me and I am spooked by it since I fractured my back in multiple places (C3, T8, L4, L5). The Navigational Broncoscopy was inconclusive - doctor didn't get enough tissue. If this is cancer, and it probably is since the tumor has doubled in size in one month (3 cm - yes, Cm) it will be my 7th primary cancer - when does it end???
Oh, and can anyone else feel the tumor? My oncologist said I am feeling it pushing on the chest wall. The usual pain meds don't do a thing so any suggestions on how to handle this are greatly appreciated!
