Hi @sarah21williams Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect

I’m so sorry to hear of your dad’s newly diagnosed Pancreatic Cancer. It has to be especially upsetting as he and your mom are ready to launch into their next chapter of life with retirement.

The best way to start the process for having your dad’s medical treatment at Mayo in Arizona would be to contact Mayo Clinic directly.
The appointment coordinator will talk with you about your father’s needs and help arrange an appointment with the right department.
You can also have your father’s oncology team request an appointment and have his records forward to Mayo/Phoenix. A referral isn’t necessary but sometimes it can help get the process rolling faster.
Have you spoken to them about your father’s plans to be moving?

Best wishes to your dad going forward.

Thank you so much! This is very helpful— all of this and the many things I am reading on these forums. Thank you for the prompt reply and next steps. We meet this next week with his team in Illinois and will be discussing those plans of moving it all to Mayo in Arizona. Thank you. 🙏🏽

Hi! Thank you! He is on Medicare and has blue cross blue shield. So appreciate all your comments and help— we will keep you posted!
