Hello @maryannecrawford

You and your husband certainly have a lot on your plate right now. The decisions on where to go for treatment is one of the most important decisions when dealing with cancer. You are wise to consider a second opinion at Mayo Clinic.

It is not always necessary to have a referral in order to get an appointment at Mayo. Here is a link with information about scheduling an appointment. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63. When you call, you can get more information about the wait time for an appointment as well as the cost, and other questions that you might have.

Will you post again and let me know how you and your husband are doing?
