Hello @claudia72. I had my initial temporal bone resection in 2012 at Mayo Rochester by Drs Colin Driscoll and Eric Moore. I continue my cancer monitoring there currently and have nothing but great things to say about that team and the ENT department. I am alive today because to their prompt and accurate care. The team approach of bringing in other specialists when needed was always accomplished seamlessly. I don't know how any medical department can operate any better than ENT at Mayo MN. We have had long term experience with Oncology there and have found the same treatment. Our experiences with Urology started rather rough, but have been improving since my husband's bladder cancer diagnosis in 2019. If ENT in Rochester is an option for you, you can't go wrong there. Good luck addressing those symptoms, it sounds miserable.

Thank you Sue, for responding back to me. I know it has been quite a while since I have been on Mayo Connect. As it turns out MDA was not actually able to view the vallecular cyst with the laryngoscopy because of bulky tissue at the base of my tongue. And something with my tonsillar tissue, which is weird because my father took my tonsils out when I was a child. He was a Physician & surgeon back in Illinois where I grew up. I am still mulling over whether or not I want to go back to MDA. They want to do another CT scan to compare from the one I had back in Nov. to see if anything has changed. I do don't want to go back unless I actually see the doctor not a trainee... I cannot believe that I feel so emotionally paralyzed that I haven't been able to take appropriate action. I think I mentioned this in my very first post, but I too saw Dr. Eric Moore and he did the surgery to remove the one thyroid gland. And I recovered very well from that procedure. I think that's a reason right there to try and get in to see him at the Mayo again, even if it was 20 years ago. I hope they can get me in to see him. Thank you again for sharing!
