Why are they waiting until June to do surgery? Our collective experiences dictate a more urgent response. I would find another doctor. I would get a Pet Scan. It's your body and it's your life. I would not wait to find out what you are dealing with. It may well not be cancer but that can't be excluded and if it is cancer time is of the essence. Make calls tomorrow until you get something started.
