I have adenocarcinoma lung cancer stage 4 they can't open me up because it spread to other part of my body! I had chemo and radiation now i am going for immune therapy! God bless everyone who has cancer!
Hi everyone I had all of this done. And yes I do have cancer lung cancer this September the 5th I am having surgery done. I don’t know if this is right or not but I’m going through surgery. May God be all of us that’s fighting cancer.🙏🏻🕊️
Had a broncosomy today nov 22 not to bad. Just a mild sore throat hardly a cough very little blood spit up. Yes a long time smoker age 65 red flags all around. Light smoker though. Have no symptoms exercise daily lift weights never out of breath,no pain little coughing. Suppose now a waithing game. Your my favorie doc to listen to about this,thanks.
Just had a broncoscopy & everything went perfect. The mass found in my lung turned out to be an inflammatory mass, thank God. I have sarcoidosis. They also tested for molds & other things, too. Thank you, University of Penn. Great doctors! I had to drive 1.5 hours each way a few times & still need to go back for a pulmonoligist who is on a special team of doctors that doesn't happen locally where I live. Make the trip to see doctors who do this EVERY DAY, not a couple of times a year.
So interesting .....just listening to Dr. Hogarth was inspirational! So glad that these advanced procedures are available to people who need them! MANY MANY BLESSINGS!!!!
Wow! I wish you were my Dr. Lung nodules, ground glass, heavy smoker. Been having CT scans every year for 5 years. Last year doctor said I had lung infection. 3 months later I asked if I had a lung infection, would an antibiotic help. He said I didn't have a lung infection. I reminded him that 3 months before he said that I did. So now I'm having these "cancer screenings" once a year. Time for another one and I'm just done. I can't get any straight answers from this guy. It's a merry-go-round and I'm jumping off.
A real good doctor. I would trust him 100% I should have come to you. I had a Bronchosopy it was Carcinoid Stage 1 but never had the lymph nodes biopsied. Unreal. The bloodwork is all jacked up. Now its under pathlogy board review. I wish I had of seen this earlier. I am so screwed.
I have hodgkins lymphoma. Your absolutely truthful. It took 3 months for a ent Dr ot take a biopsies. It was now stage 3. On my neck a lump wax and waned. I wish I had you for my doctor. They are so nonchalant. About my cancer. I had a stem cell transplant. I'm on a clinical trial. My choice. I will alway listen to your wonder honesty
I had a needle biopsy done on my left lung. Unfortunately the doctor had miss the mass. So my biopsy it didn't say what I have. Now the mass have grown but more so I don't have a choice to do another biopsy. Was told it had to be removed.
they done the needle with me when i went in for a biopsi, went threw my back into my lung talk about hurt man i dont wish that on anyone,,wish they would of done what he was talking about bronchoscope, but any how i was diagnost with stage 4 cancer adenocarcinoma an nodules in my chest also an liver, an other area's,,, i just had my pet scan march 24th an it showed that the chemo an immune therapy showed that my caner shrunk 50 percent, an the liver the tumor is gone, an the ones in my chest gone, but the left lung i only got the one left but its still pretty big it was 2 1/2 inches now its 50 percent shrunk ,, wish they could just cut it out of my lung but my dr said no to risky cause i have caner also in my bone not in the bone marrow but the outside of the bone, still dont know why they can not just remove my lung but hope the immune therapy will kill it,, they went from telling me i will live less then a year an now they said they are hopeful that i will live now 2 years or longer, kinda scared but yet it is what it is hope an pray the immune therapy works an they come out with new drugs
You are amazing . Thank you so much for this video. For 2 years they are watching a very small 6 ml. Nodule and ground glass things now in both lungs . I already had lobectomy for small lode adenocarcinoma. I worry that they arent doing anything but ct scan every 6 mos. I am a patient at Fox Chase Cancer Center in phila. Should I go somewhere else?
Hi Pam - While we are unable to recommend a care plan for you (that's up to you and your doctors), Fox Chase does have an advanced bronchoscopy program like that described by Dr. Hogarth: ruclips.net/video/jatBhU6LfmE/видео.html
Having one of these procedures on November 9th. However, had a needle biopsy of the right lung on October 23rd. Things were scheduled when they could be scheduled. Got a partial pneumothorax from the needle biopsy, it corrected on its own. Have already had an upper left resection 4 years ago. I'd like to just get zapped if I can....
I can't get a answer for the pain after cabag surgery right lung pain is average 5 and when I caught sneeze or hiccup the pain is no doubt 10 . I finally got a low dose CT 4 days age and still not a word . I've asked for a asbestos specialist . But nothing .
Great explanation of procedures! Do you recommend a bronchoscopy if a nodule in the lung has decreased in size from 3cm to 1.8cm to 1.0cm? That's where I stand right now and am concerned because I've read that even smaller nodules can be malignant.
If there are nodules in the lungs and you do a Bronchial biopsy, and you find there is cancer, do you do the surgery right then during the biopsy procedure, or does there have to be another appointment and separate surgery?
I'm not a medical Doctor or geneticists. I read (researched) where if there over 9cm do a biopsy and have a MRI every 6 months to a year to see if they have grown to include.
Bit concerned having had a radial EBUS ultrasound with needle aspiration returning negative result wit PET CT saying there is something there. So now having a navigational bronchoscopy. Not sure that this will yield a reliable result this time.
I loved your explanation. I am a 5 year kidney cancer survivor. Before my surgery, I had a CT scan of my lungs and 3 nodules were found. I had a needle biopsy of one nodule and the findings were scar tissue. Since Feb. 2017 I have had 9 CT scans monitoring these nodules. 2 more have appeared over 5 years with the largest being 7 mm, the smallest 2 mm. I am scheduled to have another CT scan in Nov. 2022 but I’m afraid that all of this radiation is going to create lung cancer! I’m considering contacting my pulmonologist and telling him I don’t want another CT scan. What are your thoughts?
Hi Sharon - Thanks for asking! We recommend contacting Dr. Hogarth's office directly and discussing your situation with him and his team. You can do so here: www.medifind.com/doctors/d-kyle-hogarth/21695145. We wish you the best with your health!
I had a pet scan on February 1st after two CT scans. On the CT scans it showed I had a lung nodules, after getting a PET scan it didn’t light up as cancer. I’ve had a conversation with the surgeon who tells me surgery is risky. I have a 6 mm ground glass nodule which hasn’t changed in size since the CT scan in August and December. I like you was concerned about getting a PET scan, but I guess it’s done as to get an in-depth look at what’s going on. Hope all goes well.
I’m having trouble finding a doctor who understands what I’m asking for when I ask for an advanced bronchoscopy rather than the recommended biopsy through my chest. I’ve already had a basic bronchoscopy, but they were unable to take biopsy sample with that method. My diseased area is at the periphery of my lung and they said they wouldn’t be able to reach. What should I be asking for? Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy? Endobronchial Ultrasound? Thank you!
Does taking a biopsy this way cause cancer to spread via bleeding, etc.? Thanks so much for your video. I am certain I will seek this method for my newly found 8.6mm nodule with a “malignant growth rate” over the past 6 months.
Brother had lesion on lung and second Broncoscpy 6 mos later to see growth presuming a biopsy to dectect cancer,..unfortunatly 10 days later brother died from 9 brain absesses ...biopsy of lesion created infection into blood brain barrior...not about your conversation but there are risks...checking a patients condition with some sinus trouble and pneumonia like symptoms should have not done procedure................there was nothing to indicate the possibility of this procedure causing an infection or sepsis to brain there were no indications that anything else caused this, patient was immunocompromised and Doctor indicated after death..that my brother did not have cancer wow....who cares why did this patient die of a nasty brain desease....I did no autopsy...also should have gone to UVA as opposed to nice Doctor nearby Sentara...

I'm an 11-year breast cancer survivor, with 11 years of alcohol sobriety. Just 2 days ago, I went to hospital for an X-ray of possible ammonia. A large mass size of "grapefruit " or 10cm. Found in the upper right lung with ammonia/infection showing. Doc wants to do a needle biopsy similar to what I had done to my breast.. No way No how, just NO .. So here are "my own " options either he agrees to do a bronchoscopy or I, take up drinking again and live out whatever I have left of my life pickled.

What were your symptoms and did you smoke?
Are you OK? I pray you are!

It’s probably going away
If it changes in size for the better it's an inflammatory nodule.

Fine needle biopsy is fine as long as you run ngs on the sample
Good video. Thank you for making it.
Thanks doctor
❤ Excellent explanation
Using ION Robotic Bronchcoscopy
But I had a nodule on other lung that was adenocarcinoma so why wouldnt it be for this one ?
Bit concerned having had a radial EBUS ultrasound with needle aspiration returning negative result wit PET CT saying there is something there. So now having a navigational bronchoscopy. Not sure that this will yield a reliable result this time.
So they should have told you what stage it was and what type of cancer it is
