*I'm not sure Mayo is the best of the best. They are all about the money and don't take medicare unless you started treatment with them prior to turning 65. I went there when I was looking for treatment for my cancer. Consult after consult and no one ever remembered who I was. I was 11 weeks out from my diagnosis and on my third trip to Mayo some bonehead ina $6,000.00 suit said, I'm sorry to tell you this Mr. Hodder, but you have cancer. Very impersonal and ill informed and way too many expensive suits and the art was awful. That was the last straw. I was treated at the U of MN, MHealth and lived which no one was expecting me to do partially because what I had was rare no one anywhere I went had ever treated and it took so log to get started.

If they did such a poor job with your husbands pain I wouldn't consider that a great endorsement of their services. Morphine didn't work and it sounds like they didn't try other drugs. GeneSight testing would have likely revealed that morphine wouldn't work. My testing which was after my cancer did show that like I told my doctors, "morphine doesn't work for me." My doctors listened and tested other drugs vis a small dose via spinal tap. If they didn't do gene testing, (which they now do), they certainly could have tried the drugs via spial tap to see what would work.

A friend of mine just got great treatment for cancer at Mayo. My treatment may have been fine but it also would have required me to move to Rochester for 3 months plus which was just too much.

Most people get great treatment at Mayo I didn't. Pain pumps provide relief to most people but didn't work for your husband. Nothing is 100 all the time.
