My husband can’t get a biopsy for what they are presuming is cancer. It’s been scheduled since end of January. It was scheduled for March 27. This waiting is awful.

This is getting absolutely crazy. Delaying a biopsy can delay potentially life saving treatment. I learned I am in atrial fibrillation but that the potential fix is considered elective. Guess I can go ahead and have a heart attack before I can get treatment.

What? When it comes to a Cancer Diagnosis, time is your enemy. Time to find a new Doctor or go straight to an Oncologist.

If my Dr. didn’t get me setup with an Oncologist when he did my Leukemia Prognosis would have probably been a lot worse.

When I think back I was probably ignoring some symptoms, but I also made a point to do an Annual Physical with him. That’s when he noticed a problem with my Blood Work.

That is awful, that kind of worry is torture. Prayers go out.
Maybe you can get a referral in one of the free states.
