@bijou17 you can usually self refer to another doctor. are you limited by your insurance? I agree with your family history, it's even more important to be seen by a specialist. do you mind sharing your location?

I have a kind of genetic lung cancer. My dad and his dad both had it, too. There is a team at Dana Farber in Boston that is studying genetic cancer and will do a free test to look for inherited biomarkers. They send someone to your house to take a blood sample and then call you in a couple weeks with the results. If you test positive for any, they will also test your family for free.
