Call them. They're likely waiting on biopsy results but when you talk to the secretary tell her what the doctor said to you and see if she can move things along. It may be dependent on your insurance's approval too so push a little. It's cancer. It's treatable but expedience is the key. One thing I tell all newbies. Some drs are amazing some, drs suck, you want to believe your dr. has your best interest at heart - absolutely - and many do, however they also have numerous patients with similar issues (particularly if he or she is a cancer specialist - which BTW you should be seeing - someone who deals with this cancer all the time - preferably someone at a CCC - but I digress) - anyway my point is even the best dr, (unless they are related to you) will not be able to advocate for you like a family member or yourself. Take charge. Hugs and welcome.
