my44 thank you so much beyond helpful. Mayo was excellent in responding to me within 48 hours. They need my medical records of course to look at my case and see if I am a candidate for even starting the process. I have yet to do so, in light of not be sure of my decision and for feeling a bit guilty. I have no doubt Banner only wants the best for me and would help me no matter what team I may decide on. My research and gut instinct tells me Mayo is the place I need to be. They are a 5 hour drive from me so I am lucky to be within a few hours of them.

Hi, Lisa.
You listed several "positives" in your post. 1. You feel that Banner would want the best for you. 2. You've been researching and that research seems to be leading you in a certain direction. 3. Mayo promptly responded to you and has requested your records, which means they are willing to at least look at your case. 4. You're within a few hours of Mayo. And 4. Your gut is telling you that Mayo is the place you need to be. For a lot of people, that gut feeling is what usually indicates the path they need to pursue.

But you want to be very sure. So,
I encourage you to continue with your research and compile all the information you need, get Mayo the records they requested for review, and see where that leads you as far as next steps.

Best wishes to you on this journey. You have the support of everybody here at Connect. Continue reaching out to us if you need to, and please keep us posted as to how things go for you.
