Hi @jkenser,

I'd like to second what @cynaburst mentioned, that it is unlikely for Mayo Clinic to have misdiagnosed your tumor.
The Internet has certainly made life easier and many of us search the Internet for medical information. But studies have shown that searching for medical information online could also set us off on a downward spiral: the more you search, the more you consider every possibility, and the more anxious you get.
Although I don't wish to burden you with even more information, here is a very recent article from a scientific journal about this behavior: http://bit.ly/2kVUChn

@jkenser, your body and mind have survived a tremendous journey, so it may be time for you to relax and focus on the future...and know that the Connect community is here to support you all the way.

I agree. Mayo has a noted medical model for best results. Plus according to Medscape, mis diagnosis is a remote problem and addressed by conscientious physicians and those in medical research. JIM>>
