      Hi guys, keepin ya posted on the latest, Dr. Hamids “coordinator” Jasmin just called me! So nice, she gave me their Tax Id number for the referral, she said either my Primary Dr or Oncologist can fill it out,…Hurdle #1: My Primary Doc is out til July 22 and the nurse goes on to say only my “treating” physician can do it, makes sense but AAARRGGHH!.. HURDLE #2 : So, and i already knew this yesterday, my Oncologist will be out till July 29th and another Onco is covering her, i just called and left a message with all Dr. Hamids info Tax Id, location etc so, lets see if a “Covering ” oncologist will honor my referral !!l, look at my chart! He or she will see im desperate!! And times a ticking!..cross yer fingers peeps, i might be treated by one of many a best Mel Docs!

                A shame that the wheels of progress turn so slowly, but at least they are turning!!! Hang in there. I bet you’ll have a good treatment plan in place very soon!!! c
