Re: Lung Biopsy...what to expect?

Jessica,

Glad to hear from you. I had a needle biopsy February 2010. It wasn't bad. When my markers and CT scans started to light up in June and July, it was assumed that I had cancer in my lungs. He did not want to biopsy in August. Nothing had shown up in February.

I have been doing the EMILIE trial since September. I am on the Tykerb Xeloda arm. I am glad to hear your good results on TDM1.

I get my treatment at Kennestone in Marietta. I may ask the doctor to see if I could have the type of biopsy that you were recommended to have. Which hospital did they recommend?

Please let me know how the biopsy goes. Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for posting.

Amelia
