I would encourage you to make some calls. Do you have the pathology report available? My husbands was in his patient portal. With that information an oncology office should be able to help.

As an aside, I found my husband’s pathology report in his EHR. I called our treatment center of choice ( Mayo/Rochester), spoke with a screening nurse and had our flights booked, Mayo had several scans scheduled, appts with medical oncology, radiation oncology, GI and thoracic surgery. ALL before my husband’s gastroenterologist ever contacted us—actually i called them and told them about the pathology report. Some “glitch” with the lab caused the office to not be notified.
