So many questions. Seeing Rheumatology and GI at Mayo JAX

Oh my goodness, @caringwife, your concern is tangible. You're clearly worried and at your wit's end.
While Mayo Clinic is a remarkable place, it is not the only place. Did you apply for an appointment at Mayo Clinic in Florida? Has your husband been seen at a large medical facility? May I ask what state you're in?

Thank you for response. We live in Aberdeen SD and use our Avera Health system, which is only in SD. Kens main oncologist was in Sioux Falls SD at the Avera system. The Dr here at home is a general surgeon, and one of the Drs that does endoscopies. He was the Dr. that diagnosed his Lymphoma back in 2018. He sees Ken now for the GI issues and told us that he knew Drs at Mayo clinic and said he sent Kens records over there. We asked the Sioux Falls oncologist if Ken should see gastroenterologists at the clinics in Sioux Falls, and he told us to go the route to Mayo. Kens original oncologist from Sioux Falls left for Tennessee fall of 2020, before he left, he suggested immunology/Rheumatology as a suggestion to go forward but am so unsure. Can you give us your opinion please? We feel like the people that we talk to here think Ken is overreacting, but sincerely he is not, he gets to the point that he has told me he just wants to give up. It is unbearable.
