Helen you can expect a whole new world to open up for you. This excites me to the bone. I have only had a single appt at Mayo Scottsdale here in Arizona and I'm thoroughly excited. See my response to Colleen. Helen please keep my informed as to what you take away from your appointment. Will you be working with Dr D'Andre at Rochester? Her work is brilliant, you are fortunate to be with Rochester. But then we are all fortunate to be with any of the Mayo campuses as they all are involved with Integrative Medicine.

@dpcarriere. Yes, my appointment is with Dr. D'Andre. I'm so curious about this appointment and what it will bring.

I will be back at Mayo for a 3 month cancer surveillance and the appointment with Dr. D'Andre will be the final appointment during that visit. I will have the opportunity talk to her about what I've been through over the past few months and the results of that visit.

I had an itchy rash on my forearms and legs that happened five days after two vaginal brachytherapy sessions. I'd never had anything like that before and I wondered if it was somehow related to my body's reactions to what was introduced "into" me during those sessions. Like ridding my body of the toxins? The radiation oncology team said "no". I did see a dermatologist who treated the rash and also had nothing to say about such a cause. It lasted for about a month and the rash is gone. But I wonder what Dr. D'Andre will say about the rash?

Yes, I'm very grateful that I'm getting my care at Mayo Clinic.
