Lisa, yes it is easy to say the cause is the second hand smoke, that was how I felt when doctor said so. I have been always eat healthy, avoid toxics. I found out this serious disease accidentally.
I had a dear friend who died two year ago from Adeno lung cancer. She was healthy, a non smoker, non wine drinker.
She had target therapy for about 5 years, she told me that was genetic mutation.
Lisa, do you have side effect from oral medication?
Doctor did not say the tissue will send to lab, not until I mentioned the generic mutation. I hope he will do so.
2/12 is the consultant with surgeon, then he will schedule the surgery afterwards.
I appreciate that you contacted me. That made me feel someone’s there paying attention to my concerns.
Helen

@hch559, It sounds like you are on the right track, and it's good that your appointment with the surgeon is next week already. I have some side effects from my targeted therapy treatment, but I have been able to make some changes in my life to work around them. When I look at the alternatives, I know that I have been very fortunate. Take care of yourself over these next few days of waiting.
