Posted on Tue, 6 Jun 2017
Question: there is fluid in my left lungs.Taken out once but again it comes.I had Pneumonia recently and was in hospital.It was cured.Now my lung specialist wants biopsy to detact TB and cancer.I say TB can be identified by many other ways and if it is lung cancer I don't want to do any treatment because I am 85 and want to go peacefully without pains of any kind.Currently I have no temp,no coughing,no pain in chest.Why I should go for invesive biopsy procedure and subsiquent painful treatments?
