Thank you for your thoughts. I've been hounding everyone and finally determined that the mohs oncologists affiliated with the dermatology entity is in the network, that she is pretty much approved for a consultation (she hasn't even had that...) and all they have to do is make an appointment for a consultation. But it seems they prefer to just do the biopsy, tell her she has melanoma and then not answer phone calls or do anything. It took another hour and twenty minutes on the phone this morning just to determine that setting the appointment is all that has to be done. I have heard nothing. So today, I will have to tell my mom that we are still in limbo. She's a strong woman and can handle most any news - but she has a real hard time being left in the dark. So do I for that matter. I'll be calling the mohs folks again now...
