@jmab Yes my tumor is small. My soon to be Oncologist (hopefully sooner than the 4 weeks) I believe they look at Pathology and may get be in sooner. The Oncologist took care of both my mom and dad and has a very good reputation and cares about his patients. I have the VA for my primary health insurance and I have to get a referral approved to have care outside of the VA system. Even if I don't use the VA the Oncology practice requires a referral. I plan on bugging them all day tomorrow until it is done. The VA office has the referral but it is not complete they were supposed to be checking with my VA physician this past Friday to see what the problem is.

@srobinet yes, that makes sense. I wasn't particularly comfortable with my 1st oncologist, which made the switch even better! But it sounds like you're in good hands. Don't let up the pressure. As they say, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! Good luck!
