Anal cancer that was missed diagnosed until stage 4.

@geno5555, that is a gut punch to not being able to get an appointment at Mayo Clinic, especially when you emotionally invested your last hope in finding answers. Unfortunately, Mayo Clinic receives more requests for appointments than available openings.
There are a few things that you can consider, like getting your doctor to submit the referral for you. Also check to make sure that your health insurance is accepted at the Mayo Clinic location to which you applied. https://www.mayoclinic.org/billing-insurance/insurance
