Mayo oncology is the best. I did not go for. 2nd opinion because I had confidence in my Drs.

I agree with you wholeheartedly even though I have benefited from a distance. There is an interdisciplinary Sarcoma Board with membership which includes Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Aurora Medical Center (my own healthcare center), Northwestern and others. The board meets virtually every Monday and my case was presented to the board just after I was diagnosed. I feel extremely fortunate that I was able to benefit from such extensive combined wisdom in the course of my treatment and now continued annual reviews.

Of course I also feel very fortunate that I have had very good health since my surgeries in 2017.

I hope that in some way I can be helpful to those here who are struggling with so many extraordinary challenges. My prayer today is that all may benefit from a period of deep peace.

I was diagnosed in Florida (not Jacksonville Mayo). What they had planned for treatment likely would have killed me. My primary said they wouldn’t touch what I had but referred me to Rochester. You are right, they are the best!
