I had many tests like PET Scan, biopsy, and a bone scan but no one except the urologist seems to look at the results. My heart doctor was not made known about the PET scan and my personal doctor does not seem to look at any of my test data. I had to personally carry the results to each of my doctors to get any attention. Even your dentist and dermatologist should know if you are getting radiation treatment. Make sure that your personal doctor and all specialists know about your exam results. These exams show more than just cancer issues.

@pesquallie
When I read posts like yours I know how lucky I am to be a patient at Mayo Jacksonville. Every test, every doctor appointment is put into my history and patient portal. When I see a doctor at Mayo Jacksonville they see all my test, all my doctor appointments and every one I see says something about I see you saw ___ and had this test done.

I know we can't all have access to Mayo's and other outstanding medical institutions and just passing on how lucky I am.
