Welcome to Connect @cbower75 It’s very frustrating when you feel you have a potential health issue and not getting answers. I’m a ‘frequent flyer’ to the hematology department at Mayo Rochester and credit them for saving my life. I’m obviously a little biased but I’d encourage you to get a second opinion from them. From my experience, I have had Tele-health visits as it’s part of their patient care services when needed.

Here’s a link to information about Tele-health if your interested. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/telehealth/art-20044878

But this is the link you should click if you’d like to get the ball rolling to request an appointment. This takes you to the Mayo home page where you can follow the prompts it contact the clinic.

If you don’t mind sharing, what are your concerns? Do you have a blood condition or symptoms that haven’t been diagnosed?

My husband has recently been diagnosed with Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. He has a hematologist/oncologist who currently has five patients with Waldenstroms but has never treated it. His other patients have been on watch and wait or have been treated in the past by different MD’s but don’t need treatment now. My husband is in the watch and wait category. We both are a little concerned about the physicians lack of experience in treating it but we are also living a long way away from any Mayo Clinic.
My question is when he needs treatment is there a way to get a second opinion on that aspect without a physical appointment?
