Bless your heart, Cheryl. I think maybe it's time you caught a break here. And I don't mean catching pinkeye. Just know this please. Your TM family is here for you ~ always. You're in my thoughts and prayers every day. Hey keep taking those deep breaths and try to relax as much as possible. (I know, easier said than done)

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
