Thank you. I have always lived a healthy lifestyle—I never smoke, I eat healthy foods, and walking is my exercise. Finding out about this disease almost two years ago was a huge shock.
The last couple days, I decided to email my surgeon to ask if he could perform the biopsy so I can get early treatment without waiting for 3 months. I have not heard back from him yet, and he might not reply.
I didn't message him on MyChart because the APRN usually replies without consulting the doctor. Facing this dreadful disease, I am trying my best to stay calm.

Hi Helen,
Yes, finding out you have cancer is a huge shock. Having lived and continuing to live a healthy lifestyle is a huge plus for you as you fight this disease. Good for you Helen !
Great, I’m glad you reached out to your surgeon. I do hope you get a reply from him/her soon. It’s hard enough coping without having the extra stress of waiting to hear back.
Good for you for trying your best to stay calm, it’s not always easy with all you are going through but certainly worth the effort I feel to reduce stress anywhere we can.
Hugs 🤗 Daisy

@hch559 depending on the size and location of the nodule - biopsy isn't always possible, so that might be a factor. do you have an oncologist you could speak with about your treatment plan? I would say Tagrisso (osimertinib) is worth considering.
