@nadine78 thank goodness you found us! so sorry your oncologist dermatologist is lacking in bedside manner. I don't suppose you could switch to another one. 🫣 I was feeling the same way heading into year 3 on osimertinib. it should not be hard for doctors to acknowledge that it’s difficult and life changing to need these medications.

I'm a little older than you at 54, but I know what you mean about peers not being able to relate to a serious medical diagnosis. In case it might interest you, Dana Farber has a Young Lung Cancer Program - and they have their first ever (free) virtual forum coming up in November.

@mamajite My oncologist is sending me to a different dermatologist next week.... but I looked at his reviews online and seems I'm in for the same thing, sigh. I honestly think the best skin advice might come from "lung cancer influencers" online! lol Thank you for the link to that program, I'll check it out.
