Please keep me updated about how things are with you. Your history, plus that of your family explain why you are concerned about your symptoms. If possible, you need to find a way to relax as you are taking the right steps to find a reliable diagnosis. Your stress about the unknown isn't good for your health.
Look for a class in Meditation or Mindfulness to learn how to focus your mind and let go of your fears. I have found Meditation is extremely helpful for my fears. Over the years it has become my automatic response to fears of the unknown. You have been doing everything in your power to research your symptoms and get the help of doctors. Now, let it go and find some peace as you await further diagnosis. That's the best way to care for yourself right now.
Also, September is a few weeks away. When in September do you go to Mayo Clinic, and to which one are you going? I'm holding you in peace and love.

I'm so happy to hear that you've been able to get your appointment sooner at Mayo. Since I see that you live in North Dakota, I'm assuming you will be going to the Rochester clinic. I have been to Mayo for medical treatment 3 times, always in Rochester. I trust them completely. I'm also glad you already practice meditation at least with yoga. I too practiced yoga for 8 years. After back surgery, I'm now trying to get scheduled for new yoga classes this fall where we are now living.
Hang in there, it won't be so long now.

@gailb Thank you for your kind words. I do a ton of yoga, meditation, and acupuncture but is getting a bit costly. I also found out they can get me in on August 28th, wow, I'm so happy. The symptoms I am considered about is the rectal bleeding, repeated infections in my kidneys, intestines, and colon within a 4 month period, severe nausea that keeps me from eating which has caused weight loss, if I do it, it has to be a few bits because I tend to get nauseous after I try and eat, vaginal blood years after my hysterectomy, the pain sucks its gnawing, cramping sharp, sometimes sharp but is in the upper abdomen to pubic bone, pelvic pressure has started and rectal pressure. I thank you tremendously for what you and helping me I didn't know if anybody would respond and I am very grateful to you and others have. @travelgirl @hopeful33250 @lioness
