Biopsy Sample

Last reply: 23 January 2019 11:56

I have recently requested a paper review including a review of my biopsy following a diagnosis of a primary adenocarcinoma in my bladder. Hospital in Boston is carrying out review but are having difficulties with Beaumont Hospital releasing the biopsy as Beaumont say this is not normal. Does anyone know if I have a right in insisting on Beaumont releasing my biopsy as this is essential for the full review of my case?
