Monday, I was called and told that Dr. De Hoyos had the results of my tests, that I would not have the “brachy” procedure but a lobectomy, and that I should schedule an office visit.
To keep the momentum moving, I scheduled the office visit for the next day, Tuesday.
Jana and I considered the likely outcomes and concluded that the PET scan must have identified some inflammation left over from a recent bout of viral infection that had centered in the lungs. We looked to the exploratory surgery for confirmation.
