I think you are on the right track. Please get a second opinion. I went throught something like you are going through. Try a university hospital. They don't care so much about your insurance. Some drs do not want patients that don't have good insurance. The dr that I had was so different with people that had good insurance it was unbelievable. He told us that it was possible to have cancer in 3 lymph nodes and not need chemo...and I might never have a problem...might wasn't good enough for me...I insisted on chemo.
