Thank you very much for your comment. My heart and prayers go out to you and your husband. My surgery is 2 days after my daughter's 21st birthday. I love Christmas and all of God's miracles and tender mercies so I do pray a lot and try my best to keep in mind that God is the almighty healer and miracles happen all the time. Merry early Christmas to you and yours. I'm going to go check out the links but my urologist didn't even tell me much and acted like he hadn't just told me I have cancer and walked out of the exam room. It was found in April but the radiologist missed it at that point then it was found in July bc it's growing and finally in Oct I got my biopsy and cancer diagnosis. I wish I could get into mayo as that's where my mother (😇) was treated for her cancers and they treated her phenomenal and told her everything every step of the way. That's why I joined this actually is bc of my faith in mayo clinic bc I've seen first hand how wonderful they are with their patients.

Have you contacted Mayo directly, rather than go through your doctor? My husband did that after bouncing around from primary care to urology to nephrology without getting tested for bladder cancer. The week after he came to Mayo for a cystoscope, he had a TURBT to remove the cancer. It’s an amazing place and you CAN self refer.
