@wolfhound1966 Let me add my welcome to Mayo Connect, as @colleenyoung has also done. It's always scary to receive news like you have, isn't it? Do you have a support system around you, whether it is family or friends, who are able to rally to your side [keeping social distancing in mind, of course!] I am glad your dr is acting quickly in this matter.

Your doctor may have a cancer center he would refer you to, as there are several in the Portland area. I would poke around at their websites and see if there are any who have a Mayo-trained specialist. Not to sound one-sided, but I do know from my own experience, a Mayo-connected oncologist is the best around! I personally go to Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and Research Center, in Eugene. I know it would be a bit of a drive for you, at about 100 miles. But I drive from southern Oregon up there 115 miles each way. My dr is Christopher Yasenchak, a Mayo Clinic-trained specialist, who oversees my multiple myeloma [a blood plasma cancer].

We look forward to hearing from you after your CT guided biopsy today. We are here to support you through this time.
