Found A Mass

A MyCOPDTeam Member asked a question 💭
West Palm Beach, FL

Hi, it has been a long time since I have been on here. Guess I had my head in the sand, hoping it would all be a bad dream.
Now they have found a mass in my lung, upper left lingual at 3.3 mm. I am in the process of getting the us to have the needle biopsy since I cannot have any anesthesia.
Has anyone had this? Did it turn out good? Does anyone have any information?

A MyCOPDTeam Member

I prayed for no Cancer and if you had it to be completely healed in the mighty name of Jesus!
