Hello @mvb1213
Anxiety of any kind always ramps up the situation and usually we deteriorate very quickly without any answers. When I was first diagnosed with Colon Cancer in 1999, I went to local hospitals and any Doctor that would see me. In my attempts to control my situation I made several bad calls, just to get answers and it could have cost me my life.
After several months and being told to prepare "my will" by a physicians Mayo Clinic Jacksonville called me and I was admitted within three days. I underwent a Colectomy and all of my large colon was removed and I was left with a colostomy. That was in 1999. Currently my wife and I ride our bikes about 100 miles per week, usually in State Parks and we have experienced an affection towards one another that is much greater in affection than when we first met over 35 years ago. Just be patient and pray in your own way for the answers you seek. At 80 year young, I am still learning the significance of having patients, tolerance and understanding of the things I cannot change. One day at the time. That is all any of us ever really have. Bless your patience.
Joseph

Don't give up trying to get into Mayo. The first time I filled out the online form I was told they don't take my insurance. I waited a few weeks and filled out the online form and was told the same as you they were not taking urology patients. I waited a month and called on the phone and received an appointment. I was very happy even though the appointment was for 7 weeks in the future. This was September 2024. I'm also in Arizona.
