Gretchen's Medical Updates

The interventional radiologists feel, after reviewing the CT films, that they will be able to obtain a better tissue sample for the pathologists to evaluate.

It is neither good nor bad that the site has changed.  If anything I guess it could be considered ‘good’ because the radiologists feel they will get a better tissue sample by doing the biopsy on the right lung junk.  Hopefully the pathologists will receive an adequate tissue sample and be able to make a cellular/tissue diagnosis.

After assessing Mom’s Chest/Ltd abdomen CT, the interventional radiologists have decided not to biopsy the adrenal mass and instead will perform a CT-guided fine-needle biopsy on the junk in her Right Lung.
