Leukemia patient! I am searching for Health Care And an Oncologist.

Posted by dennisj76 @dennisj76, 1 day ago

I am losing my health care in California by moving to Arizona.
I am being treated for Leukemia. My current oncologist has strongly advised that I obtain a new oncologist associated with the Mayo Clinic.
I am on Medicate. Can someone recommend a healthcare system here with connections to the Mayo Clinic!
Thank you for your help!

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

Blue Cross and Blue Shield plans usually include Mayo.
I agree with your oncologist. You want Mayo.

Hi @dennisj76,
You might try Mayo Clinic itself by requesting an appointment. They are located in Phoenix AZ. Here is a link to get you started. http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63.

Here is another link to check out first. It addresses Medicare information:

Another option besides Mayo Clinic would be a facility within the Mayo Clinic Care Network. This consists of independent healthcare organizations that collaborate with Mayo Clinic to access its clinical expertise and resources.
Here is a map of available clinics who meet the high standards of Mayo. Arizona State University Hospital is a member. You might want to check with an oncologist from that medical facility.

What type of leukemia do you have? Are you currently in treatment?
