@katemn: I do have a first name and all of you can call me Puffs or Pavitra. I know it feels good to be called by our name.

Today i went to a GI practioner she did not own up my case she rather advised i should go to India as they have seen this disease better there than here :(. I had high regard for doctors untill i faced this issue. No offence to genuine ones but most of them are treating us like their business units which unit can make more money).

List of my worries:

I trust Mayo clinic but how do i know which of the 3 is better for my case
How easily they are reachable as this needs close monitoring and reassurance
How easy it is to schedule and cancel appointments
i dont have lung issue and tb is in my tummy, most of the doctors have seen it in lungs can i find someone who will treat it in tummy
If i need to undergo invasive treatment and if i should be hospitalised there how do i manage without my family as i told you earlier i stay alone here
Can anyone share their experience at mayo clinic who have had surgery

Thanks for all the advise. Big Hug to all brave people here. One more challenge to me is i dont drive so probably i may have to take a bus or hire a cab. Here its very difficult without driving. I am worried as to how much all this may cost. But i am surely going to call those folks and once again my besties thanks for keeping up my spirit
