@swagner2024 I can understand why you are so frightened about this diagnosis. I can also understand why you decided you wanted to go to a place that is specialized in these rarer cancers.

Four+ weeks is a very long time to wait for a pathology report. I know that sometimes pathologists will send the slides out to a pathologist with expertise in the particular area before reporting the results but I would think the surgeon or doctor would be informed of that.

It's really good that you decided on Mayo. I was seen at Mayo Clinic for endometrial cancer (endometrioid adenocarcinoma, FIGO Grade 1) and then had a hysterectomy there. All of my follow-up has been at Mayo which is a long day's drive for us but it's totally worth it. The care and attention is outstanding.

Your local pathologist will send your biopsy/slides to Mayo and their pathology department will generate their own diagnosis and report just as you said. Do you have an appointment scheduled yet at Mayo? Have you tried logging in to the Mayo patient portal to see what might already be scheduled for you?

@naturegirl5
Thanks so much for your response.
I am in limbo right now. I do have the app and have logged into the portal and there is nothing scheduled right now. I am assuming the testing is going on right now.
I live in Illinois and it is about 6 hour trip to get up there. It's good to know that it's worth the trip. I hope you are doing ok now....
Warm Regards, Sandy
