@debschmalbach, I'm tagging mentor @mir123 on this question. While she doesn't have sarcoma, she also lives with metastatic cancer and receives care in your area of the country.
Other options include:
- Call Mayo Clinic appointments where you received treatment to ask for recommended local oncologists. They can sometimes help transfer to local care. See phone numbers here: https://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
- Talk to an oncology social work at Mayo Clinic about transfer of care.

Thank you. I have managed to work it out. It was stressful and time consuming but I think I now have a plan. I appreciate your reaching out.

hi--right now the status of my cancer is unknown. Initially the NET tumor in my breast was assumed to have at least a subclinical spread. That may still be true, but currently, after 3 1/2 years, there is no indication of spread. Essentially it seems that because I'm still alive the prognosis has changed. Nothing about this has been clear or simple. However, I'm at Christus St. Vincent in Santa Fe. Initially Mayo was very helpful with the pathology. The cancer center at Christus is in network for Mayo. Hope this helps
