Parotid gland tumor. Will need surgery. Your experience at Mayo?

Thank you for replying Sue. The oncologist informed me that my scans were exceptionally clean, with no signs of cancer anywhere. It was quite emotional for me. He said all my organs are working and numbers are all normal. I go back every 3 months for scans the first year and then less as the years go by. I'm so grateful to the doctors at Mayo and their robust scheduling department.
By the way, I adore animals. After losing my cats (16 years they were sisters), I realized that I couldn't go through that pain again. I enjoy dogsitting now.

What wonderful news! I understand the tears of joy, relief, and hope that come with with that information. It still happens to me after 11 years. So sorry for the loss of your sister kitties. If only they could be with us for our lifespan. I like your method of keeping animals in your life. A loving pet sitter is a valuable commodity. With all our health-related travel I really appreciate that.
ENT at Mayo Rochester is really an amazing machine in the way that it operates. Doctors and staff all just make it happen as needed, almost magical. They truly demonstrate the Dr. Mayo quote " The best interest of the patient is the only interest to be considered."
