@fdh Hi and welcome to Mayo Connect. How was your cancer diagnosed? Do you know specifically what type of pancreatic cancer you have? Do you know if it has spread? The cost to get treated at Mayo is determined by many variables around testing and treatment. They can change frequently. Let's start with some basics and go from there ok?

If I’m not mistaken, your doctor has to refer you to Mayo , then there’s an application process, after that there is some type of review board and they will decide whether they will take the case. Now this was about 5 to 10 years ago so things tonight it might’ve changed. Sorry to hear about your diagnosis you will be in my thoughts and prayers

@fdh Here is the link with information on international appointments:

Please let me know if there link works.

@fdh your wait to see anyone is not acceptable in Canada . There are standards to uphold . Perhaps you need to contact your family doctor to get in touch with a team that will get the ball rolling . In Ontario n that is the Hepatic team who operate (no pun intended) out of St Joes in Toronto . They will investigate the possibility of surgery and from there initiate the oncology follow up in your own area after surgery. The time frame here should be fairly rapid -like post op biopsy results and within the next two weeks we were sitting in the Oncology consult and speedy treatment and scans set up from
That point on . Speak with your family doctor and push if necessary
