Do I need to have blood and urine tests in Texas before going to Mayo Rochester for treatment / surgery for a Paraganglioma that was on my recent CT Scan Radiology Report? Thank you

When they initially evaluated me, I'd sent CT scans as well as MRI scans I'd had from 2 different local hospitals. They requested i send them and instructed me how to send, and to where. I hadn't seen an endocrinologist, so was sent, from Mayo, a urine collection kit with complete instructions. My triage team preferred Mayo tests vs tests from my rural medical community.
@texashummingbird , don't hesitate to ask them questions you may have. Your treatment needs to be interactive for maximum benefit; you are part of your healthcare team!🥰
