Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear User ! Thank you for posting your question here .
There are some other conditions that could explain the lesion besides cancer .I understand that you want to know as soon as you can but i can't say if this is cancer or not without the biopsy result.
You are in the right steps to have the diagnosis.Only biopsy will show and you will discuss with your pneumologist for proper treatment.
Avoid heavy physical activity.

Wish you good health.
If you have any further clarifications I will be glad to help.
Take Care .
