Hello folks,

I was wondering, has anyone (or does anyone know of anyone who has) self referred themselves to an oncologist before a definitive diagnosis was made? I've seen some people on here who have tag line histories that seems to suggest that. I am just wondering because I have seen a new ENT and GI doc who is not sure what is causing my spitting up of blood. They did a fuller upper GI scope, an endoscope, and an ultrasound but have not found anything. I do have palpable lymph nodes that are about a cm, but so far, no one has been willing to do another biopsy.

Just wondering if I should try and see a more knowledgeable subject matter expert before finally calling it quits on this. I think I'm turning into a hypochondriac.

Thanks
