I do follow at mayo. What kind of paperwork did your doctor submit to insurance? It does toy with the emotions! I am 32 yrs old and toying with the idea of having a hysterectomy just because my aunt had stage 4 Ovarian Cancer at age 38. It puts a lot of stress on the emotions to even think of having a hysterectomy and not being able to have anymore kids!

@bevers89, I hope @stlsampsondev will return to share how they were able to work with their doctors at Mayo to submit forms to get insurance to cover screenings. You may wish to speak to Insurance & Billing at Mayo Clinic to inquire further https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/billing-insurance/insurance/accepted-insurance

I bet Sophie @doslovesdogs21 understands your stress and emotions about weighing your options regarding inheritable cancer, fertility and choices. See the discussion they started here:

Bevers, I recommend talking to your team at Mayo. You may have options regarding having more kids and preventative measures for cancer. You're certainly not alone. Besides connecting with others here, you can talk with a genetic counselor at Mayo Clinic.
