@komiskey10 You've raised a kind and compassionate daughter who will stay by your side no matter what. It must be difficult for you, as her mom, to not only try to manage your own emotional pain and anxiety but to watch your daughter try to support you. It's good that you chose to return to Mayo Clinic. With all the testing and appointments you will have so much more information and can make informed decisions about what you would like to do. We travel 460 miles to Mayo Clinic every six months for my cancer surveillance appointments and other specialty appointments. It would be more convenient to try and find this medical care at home but I know that my medical providers at Mayo are thorough and never rush me through appointments or to make a decision.

What is the distance you travel to Mayo Clinic?
