You can call your PCP today and get a referral. You do not need to suffer with this any more til your appointed visit with him.
Or call any of the oncologists that you have on the phone or My Chart.
None of them have a clue that you have this problem as you have not told them.
Check out the PCP’s offices to see who uses ultrasound sound before requesting a referral. That way, you get a referral to the one who does this.

You have to be assertive to get the care that you need
