You'd think they would include recommended tests,surgery,etc all under the main referral. Plus,there is no local orthopedic oncologist for me to see. I just realized late last night I need my PCP to refer me for the shoulder biopsy,and for a pathologist to read the results. Good thing I thought of it,or I'd be paying out of pocket (and my pockets are pretty empty!). Called my PCP's office and I need the doctor's name address phone # and diagnosis before they can send it to Boston. Just added stress I don't need. I'm taking deep breaths and trying to relax. On top of everything,I have pinkeye in both eyes.An itchy, gunky mess. Things have got to get better! Cheryl
