No, I have not yet been diagnosed with prostate cancer, Given the symptoms, I assumed the probability is high that it is a cancer, and my first thought was MAYO! My wife has been treared there (cochlear implant) and we were singularly impressed with - well - everything.
My GP made a referral for me, and I also submitted a request.
My primary concern is treatment (when/if it comes down to that); not so much diagnostics. If I have the diagnostics through Banner here, and treatment is prescribed, can I hope for a new referral to the Mayo to be accepted for treatment?

@tangata, I recommend that you or your physician contact Mayo Clinic to understand why the denial. It may be that they will offer a second opinion and guidance once (if) a diagnosis has been confirmed.
Naturally is is impossible for us to guess the reason for the denial. Best to contact Mayo AZ directly.
I understand the primary concern being treatment options and it is advisable to get a second opinion as many members here will agree. It's great that prostate cancer has multiple effective treatment options, but it makes decision making hard.
First, I hope that you do not have prostate cancer. 🙂
