I’m having a biopsy Wed on 2 mediastinal nodes in different places. The first showed on a ct in Nov. it was 5mm in Feb & now 1.2cm. The 2nd was 4mm in Feb & now 8mm. Apparently, there is also a chain of nodes that are enlarged, but small. My mo wanted the biopsy but the pulmonary np thought the nodes might be reactive & we could wait for another 3 months. After I expressed concern that the 2 had doubled in 2.5 months, the specialist decided on the biopsy.

Does anyone have experience with these nodes? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

Karen

    Sorry you are dealing with this worry. I agree with MO and would want a biopsy. An NP, no matter what specialty, should not trump and MD or DO, so I am glad you expressed your concerns and they were listened to. Have you gotten results yet? Hoping they are benign!
