Brief Answer:
Biopsy and pathology analysis are the right steps!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis. I know how distressed my clients get when diagnosed of cancer. Am pretty sure you are certainly battling with this as well. Concretely, this is the right approach in making the diagnosis. There is nothing else that has to be done or was not done correctly. The next step is to ask for further tests and a chest Xray to make sure that there are no other foci of this cancer. If you have the detailed report, please I will like that you share this with me.

I hope this helps. I will like to hear from you and am very willing to address further worries that you may have.
