So much for online contact!!i just got this reply from the actual international patients department:
“Thank you for your email. Please note that at this time, we are not able to offer a virtual, remote second opinion, video conference or an online consultation. Please let us know if you are interested in an onsite appointment at Mayo Clinic Rochester and we would be happy to assist.”
🙁

@elechar2023, oh I didn't realize that you didn't live in the US. Virtual care has to adhere to federal guidelines and is only available for international patients IF the provider you are seeing is also licensed where you live.

Hi @elechar2023, I hope you have found the care and support that are seeking. It can certainly be difficult to access a second opinion, especially when travel is required. Is your husband still tolerating the Tagrisso well? Was he experiencing symptoms?, are those starting to subside?
