My lung biopsy a few days ago was aborted due to bleeding. I have an 8mm solid w/groundglass in right lower lobe. Blood obscured the radiologists view of my CT guided scan. Aside from lobe removal, which it may not even be cancer, what's an alternative to a lung biopsy. They won't do another due to bleeding. I'm 69 & considered high risk due to smoking for many years.
