We just had a brand new MD Anderson hospital open here very close to my house. I am now trying to get into that. I thought I could just call and get an appt. but not so easy. They want a list a mile long of records and I don't even know how to get them. I have called my oncologist twice to release my records and she hasn't called back. I am not in denial about the fact that no treatment is curable for my cancer, but as long as I am still doing scans and other treatments it would be great to have it all in one place. Anyone have suggestions on how to get the records they want so I can get an appt. set up? I am surprised at how picky they are about who they take as patients. I thought I could just call and make an appt. and they would do the work of getting my records.
