Has anyone been worked up at Mayo?

I just had my first appointment at Rochester Mayo on July 18th with Dr. Escalante. He was very thorough and took the time necessary to understand my situation. I self referred and had to wait about 4 months for the appointment. The day prior to seeing the doctor I had a CT and PFT. They tried to induce a sputum sample, but I wasn't successful so he ordered two collection kits to be sent to my home. After seeing me he ordered some add'l tests which were done while I was there. Results were delivered same day or overnight. After I got home I got the results of my sweat test which showed intermediate results for CF. Within a few days they scheduled me for genetic counseling. I will have a followup virtual appointment with Dr. E after culture results come in.

Mayo was easy to figure out once we got there. Everyone was helpful and capable. I really don't have any hesitation in recommending them.

So did they follow up the sweat test with a genetic test for CF? Or what does intermediate results mean with the sweat test?

Thank you!
