Saw a surgeon and both doctors decided to wait and do another CT scan in January and if any changes will do biopsy then. Still say very risky. Can't take out a lobe so will be a wedge resection (?). I go to Moses Taylor but think surgery will be Mercy because they have a new robotics machine. I also go for pulmonary rehab at Moses Taylor.
