@makatak47, I don't think that any of us here can respond to your question of whether seeking treatment at Mayo Clinic can lengthen your life. But the expert physicians at Mayo Clinic may be able to answer more knowledgeably. I suggest you contact them. By reviewing your complete medical records, they can tell you if there are options they can offer that currently are not available to you or if you are receiving the same care they would offer. They don't want you to travel if not necessary. Here's how to contact them http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

@wifemom3, Michelle, how are you doing? What brought you a smile today?
