Hi HER 2 family,

Thank you for getting back to me. I was able to get the MRI appt. for next Friday. In the meanwhile I contacted my surgeon's office to postpone my biopsy. I got a call back from the surgeon. He is livid. I won't even go into what he said as who knows who could be reading this (no, not paranoid), just cant believe what is happening. He flipped out about the onc recommending the MRI. He was yelling and carrying on about why this Dr. would do this and what happens if it comes back negative. I was just sort of holding the phone and trying to calm him down. Now that I think of it, I don't feel I should have been put in this position. Then a senior member of surgeon's staff called and told me that my Onc. had better contact the surgeon or things are going to get ugly. This all happened in the last hour. Don't know who else to ask for advice so coming to you for help. I don't know what their protocol is, but don't think I should be getting slammed about it. I have the utmost confidence in both Drs. but am being put in the middle.

Sorry about the long post. Just don't know what to do.
