It went well (this is still me on a new screen name). They got rid of a LOT of mucus and tissue they feared might have been “overtaxed” sprang back to life.
It makes a big difference after it heals. Fuller, deeper regular breaths. And MAN was I knocked out. No lung collapse either, I didn’t even get any bloody cough surprises after the procedure. Just some “sore” feelings.
Is this guy a smoker?
OW.
That’s like dentist pressure.
Mine’s on Monday. Supposedly the most “invasive” part is just sputum sampling and no actual tissue biopsy. Someone always has it worse. What a trooper, especially after seeing the other videos on here of what a lung -could- look like.
Well, this shows a broad carina with invasion of cancer from the lymph, nodes up to the mucosa of the trachea.
And the metal instrument was a biopsy forceps, to establish a diagnosis. If positive , then this patient has an advanced lung carcinoma, and not a surgical candidate .
Yeah, if everything were so simple…
I think that this is a biopsy. pretty sure of that. The actual surgery would be much more invasive, with chemo and possible radiation therapy afterwords.
cant they just like…cut it out???
