I would like to know where you are receiving your care as it sounds absurd to me. You need to know what your pathology is in order to receive the best treatment that is directed to your mutations. You can have somatic tumors that aren't germline (inherited). It sounds like you don't have Medicare yet? I have a Medicare Advantage PPO Plan and they have been an excellent payor. I wish you luck in your appeal, but you certainly shouldn't have the extra stress at a time like this.
