@lozierpam54, good to hear from you and get an update on your husband’s diagnosis. With his confirmed diagnosis of cholangiocarcinoma or bile duct cancer, I moved your messages to this discussion so you can connect with others like @jalewallen74 @rezmo @lovingwifeterry @billdemarco @tball3748 @reddino and others.

I have been trying for almost 6 weeks to get my husband an appointment at MD Anderson. Our insurance won’t cover it since it is out of network. I did a go fund me and raised more than enough to cover the cost for new patients. I have done everything they have asked for, a referral from PCP and oncologist, the liver biopsy tissue was FedEx to the pathology department at Anderson, and received the pathology report from Anderson. I was told he would be assigned to the Gastro Department. Now they tell it has to go to Medical Review. Has anyone had such a difficult time getting a first appointment at MD Anderson?
