Any Suggestion For Poorly Differentiated Adenocarcinoma From Navigational Bronchoscopy?
I was just diagnosed today with poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma from navigational bronchoscopy performed one week ago. My nodule in RLL is 2.4cm by 2.7cm. Since poorly differentiated means aggressive, is it concerning that it may take a week before I get a PET and don t see an oncologist until Jan 21?

Since u are having poorly differentiated adenocarcinoma from bronchoscopy report i will suggest you first determine what stage your lung cancer is in.For that u can do a PET CT or CT scan chest with upper abdomen and bone scan.
Since it is adenocarcinoma i will also advise u to to EGFR and ALK mutation tests.
If these mutations are positive and u are in stage 4 then oral chemotherapy tablets in the form of erlotinib and crizotinib will work.
