The VA has not told me anything except they can not help me with this case. They said they were going to inform the Community Care Network and let them know about my case. I had a appointment with the VA Vascular Surgeon today Nov 9 2021 but the VA cancel the appointment yesterday Nov 8 2021 stating they can not help me with my case because they are not familiar with the diagnosis. I will have to contact the VA if I do not hear back from the CCN today. And contact the CCN on if I can choose my own doctor to help me. By what I’m reading the answer is yes.

I am not blaming the VA because of the rarity of my diagnosis but I do need information ASAP because of the severity if it ruptured.

I think the Mayo Clinic would be able to help me and will inform the VA when I get in touch with them .
