I am planning to get a second opinion at Mayo Clinic. The medical facility is rated as No. 1 by US News in the treatment of Ovarian Cancer. Is there anyone in the group that might share their experiences with the Mayo Clinic.

Elena: Welcome to connect. It is an amazing place where I enjoy connecting with others. I feel it is healing to open up and share stories.
It takes a brave person to discuss cancer. Dr Amit Sood, gave me a unique opportunity to be involved with a paced breathing research study that was a great tool in keeping me connected almost 9 years ago...when there was very little information about
lung cancer, never smokers, and how long would I live? The Research programs are very supportive, private and I gained and continue to gain much knowledge about my lung cancer...that even never smokers can get.
I was at the Brink of Life and found my way back to the best years of my life with the help and amazing support of Mayo Clinic teams.
I hope we hear more from you. Take care and know we really care about you:-)
Kindest regards,
Linda
@elenab Welcome to Mayo connect. I decided to go to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville cause their GI department is rated #1. Wow is all I can say.. They have totally SPOILED me rotten. My appointments are always on time. I have a team of Doctors from 3 different departments that coordinate together my appointments. So when I go for blood work each department gets their order in and the blood is drawn at once. Literally with in a few hours they give me my results. The Dr's spend time with your and cover every concern.. I was diagnosed with 2 different primary cancers. Lymphoma and Cecum cancer. They did surgery to remove the cecum cancer and so far so good. Same with the lymphoma. They automatically set up my appointments too. The Dr's are top notch and everyone is so nice.
You will be in good hands at Mayo Clinic. Wishing you the Best.

Welcome to Connect, Elena. I moved your message to the discussion group about ovarian cancer so you can meet fellow members who are also living ovarian cancer. Please meet @cynthiawick @joannedb @caf132 @rena42 and @pauldale4.
Elena, you specifically asked about cancer care at Mayo Clinic so I'm also tagging @dawn_giacabazi @travelgirl @mm_mm @llwortman and @burrkay so they might share their experiences with you.
We look forward to getting to know you Elena. If you're comfortable, could you tell us a bit more about yourself. Is this a new diagnosis for you? What treatment if any have you had?
