    Hi I want to make sure I understand your post. Did you have surgery before a diagnosis? Jill (Team Member)

      I have had a PET/CT and the tumor board is recommending a removal of right nodule and biopsy. SUV was 2.7 nodule 1.2cm doubled in 9 months. Scheduled to see thoracic surgeon on Feb 12th. They attempted a lymph node biopsy of the left cervical lymph node last week however they were not able to get enough sample cells SUV was 6.5.

        Please make sure you ask all the important questions with your surgeon, and other options if any. Wishing you the very best!
