        Thanks for replying, I am not so much concerned about the lung spots as much as I am about the mass on the thymus gland. From what I understand that it is a very hard place to get to and biopsy so I guess that's why they wait to see if any changes occur. The pulmonary doctor didn't seem to concerned and he couldn't even show me what a Thymus was. I had to go home and educate myself on the Thymus to try and get answers. I am still confused but I think I am going to talk with my primary care doctor and ask her for second opinion. When I asked the doctor the size of the mass he stated they did not list the measurements which i find odd.  I guess i question this because of my past with melanoma and when looking up the Thymus and Melanoma it can matastisise after couple of years even if you had a WLE and were clean. Have a great day!
