Hi and thanks you for listening. My 87yr old mom has a mass on her left upper lung
it all started around four months ago they found a 5cm mass upper left lung. Dr ordered a biopsy and He says it was inconcusive, mom has this cough that won't go away for three months now, took her to hospital last week and she was admitted for this cough with the hope of doing a new biopsy as the mass is now around 7cm still only in her lung but it seems to have broken up not in one piece any more, Dr says this is what is coursing her cough it is near her laranx which trigger a cough. moms vitals are fine, nothing showing up in blood work, looks good other than lately is confused. At the hopital they started her on some kind of predeson and cough meds with codine and xanex twice a day. At the Hospital both the lung and radiologist feel at her age and the angle of this mas it too risky do do a niddle or bronc biopsy.....so what do I do now I am stuck without a DX...they sent my mother home. They keep saying it might be an infection but how will We ever know. Any Help Greatly Appreciated.
