Thank you for your kind reply also. Yes, I agree that it is a very challenging situation. I missed my CT and or echo in June at Mayo and need to find out where I stand. If I can do the echo locally with the same tech and machine that I have had in the past, perhaps I can sleep a little better at night over this winter and hope to make it to Mayo next spring.

Ginko,
sometimes we have so much worry, we lose track of which worry needs to be addressed, so if there is a missed app't, you need to call and ask what your best alternative is. You have a team of doctors, so when you are wondering what to do, call them. You may be surprised at all the alternatives you may have. I don't know where you are but let Mayo decide what you need to do. Mayo Clinic has three locations and you may be able to get to one of the other locations. I am going to be in Florida in November, and I could plan an app't at that location. I may not be in Florida either, because of the Covid Virus. I am sorry you are dealing with such a difficult problem at such a difficult time. Have you considered contacting the Heart Society for a support person? Mine was amazing and they are trained.Does Mayo provide emotional support people and/or programs.
