What Causes A Mass In The Lungs Despite A Negative Biopsy Report?

Hi, my sister-in-law has had the following going on: lung mass that gets bigger then dead tissues drop off and it gets smaller. cancer & tuberculosis have been ruled out. had a biopsy that they are growing a culture because they don t know what it is. In addition to the lungs, she has had heavy legs for months that 6 weeks ago she couldn t walk. she was diagnosed with anemia ....they gave her a blood transfusion and then 2 iron infusions. just yesterday she got a rash on both of her lower legs and feet. She had no energy and went to the hospital last night at 1:00am. She was a smoker but quit 6 weeks ago. Do you have any thoughts on this condition? Thank You. Pam
