Self pay Oncologist Fort Worth

tugarlily2025

I am in the early stage of diagnosis. Biopsies to be done this Friday. I have 5 different concerns in one breast that have been flagged as highly suggestive for inflammatory breast cancer. I need recommendations for an oncologist in Fort Worth, Texas that will work with a self pay, broke patient. I'm not sure where to start.

Hi @tugarlily2025, I'm sorry that you have the worry of waiting for a biopsy and results. Hopefully it will be benign and you won't need to find an oncologist. If you do, ask for suggestions from whatever organization is doing the biopsy. I don't know if TX has a 2-1-1 number like MA does but if so call and ask about referrals to appropriate medical resources. All the best

Texas Health and Human Services lists a bunch of resources, maybe one of the organizations listed here could provide assistance? https://www.dshs.texas.gov/cancer-resources-patients-caregivers-and-families
