I have no experience with anything you have said. However, to me it is screaming out SECOND OPINION. The delay, conflicting information, and the fact she is unsure lead me to that conclusion, for what its worth. Get another opinion on the test results and progress.
Kat,
I have to agree with UT-TC on the second opinion, especially after reading back over your posts and adventures so far. At the very least, get to M.D. Anderson in Houston, but preferably Dr. Einhorn at IU. Like you, it drives me crazy when the talk doesn't add up and there is no plan. Sure, see what the surgeon says, but IU is where they've seen it all.
Best wishes,
Paul
