an oncologist is just going to send you back to a surgeon to have it biopsied.

Oncologists don't do the surgery themselves.

save yourself the co-pay and see another cardio.

Not every lung nodule is a cancer and not every abnormal finding needs to be chased and torn down. Go get a second opinion if you need to but watchful waiting is a valid medical strategy especially since the initial 6 month period already panned out. He probably should have told you when something first popped up but it sounds like he saved you 6 months of losing your mind because you seem to be flipping your s--t even with further evidence that the nodule is nothing...

I have moles that could very well become cancer sometime but I'm living normal and not in fear.

I dont see the problem.

Quick google search returns much comfort about your little lung nodule. Very common, majority not cancerous, 4mm is absolutely tiny, and the growth rate is not on par with cancer.

Moles are pretty deadly things, eventually they'll get so big you'll turn into a giant mole

I think it is good news that he isn't concerned. I was told yesterday that my tooth is so rare it could become a case study. This means I am famous

I've come to realize that "rare" just means they have a valid excuse to not know WTF is going on.

I can definitely understand being freaked out by this. I really hope it's nothing.

I realize now I do not fear death. I fear my daughter will not be free when I die.
