Wondering if anyone has had another FNA biopsy but it had to go through scar tissue? Know of any complications with this? Take care, Judy

It would really have more to do with the location than anything else, I suspect, so I don't think one person's experience would be applicable to another person's. If anything, people with scarring from prior treatments in the lungs tend to have a lower risk of lung collapse from a biopsy because the lung is often tacked up against chest wall from prior treatments or scarred and attached to other structures that keep it from collapsing..
Good luck.

This would be in the bottom right lobe closer to the spine that had previous radiation. I'm fine Laya.
Take care, Judy
