Last Monday was the first day I could schedule my August appointment. Understanding was expressed when I stated my hesitation to make the 1,100 mile 3 day trip from south central PA to Mayo in Rochester. The appointment was scheduled as Zoom meeting first week of August. All lab requirements will be collected here at my local Cancer Treatment Center then mailed to the Clinic with materials provided with the requests. We are grateful not to be planning an extended trip with a week of overnights amid all the unknowns. I have had a local phone appointment this spring. Has anyone had recent video appointment at any of the Clinics? Nancy

@1nan, I'm thrilled that your follow-up appointment in August can be done phone and video. To prepare for your upcoming remote follow-ups, you may appreciate reading the tips other members share in this discussion:
