@mapleskoff thank you for your kind words.
I unfortunately have no one to help me with this diagnosis.its just me . I plan on writing every question down to bring with me when I see the Dr. Im in Virginia, a few hours from Virginia Tech university and close to major hospitals.
Im hoping this was caught early too. I had a UTI then a kidney stone and kept telling my Dr something still wasn't right and kept demanding a CT scan and ultrasound. She finally gave in and sent me for both tests and that's when it was found on Wednesday..
I hate when Drs don't believe patients when they say something is wrong . We know our bodies better then them.

@maryellen26
I agree with your last two sentences. I consider myself lucky to have been connected with super Oncologists. I can only suggest that you forcefully request being referred to a top notch doctor. Failing that, and if your insurance, time, and funds allow, refer yourself to said doctor. It is your well being, after all. You sound like a very good advocate for your care. Hoping you get the result you want.
