@n4seth Here's information about the role of volunteer mentors here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/page/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/

How much experience a doctor or team has is a good question to ask during your initial phone consult. However, one thing you can be sure of is that Mayo Clinic Health System Eau Claire has access to the expert team at Mayo Rochester.

Members sharing in this discussion as well as @alleycatkate @anniepie @brigby @heathert @jenblalock @ling123 @margiebanks @megan123 @rits can help you create a list of questions to ask as your first consult.

@n4seth what are some of questions you plan/hope to ask?

My questions so far include:
How severe is my case? Prognosis?
Treatment options and side effects?
Effectiveness of treatments?
Duration of treatment?
How many cases have the Eau Claire doctors dealt with? Are there other patients like me in this area?
What lifestyle changes do I need to make?

Please help! Are there any other questions I should had for my first consult?
