Dr's report

Hello,
Here is mom's dr. report. As you know after the accident a bunch of xrays were run on mom for different reasons. On one of her lung xrays a spot was found . Last week she had a CT scan of it. Today we went to the lung dr.and he recommends seeing a surgeon to remove the spot which is about a half inch long . We do know that it wasn't there a week ago . Its not big enough to do a petscan ,which we could see if it is cancerous or not . So the only real alternative is surgery to remove it and do a biopsy on it . This could be a blessing in disquise if it is cancer because at this stage it is about 80% curable... ! If we wait and see it could grow alot faster than we know and then we would be in worse shape.
Any questions? Yes,,she is worried and ofcourse she doesn't really want to have surgery but we'll see. Next week we go see a surgeon to see what he recommends.
