Which Mayo Clinic is best for Prostate Cancer treatment and wait times
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: Jan 17, 2023 | Replies (29)Comment receiving replies
My cancer has changed from intermediate favorable to aggressive and invasive. Prior to a total robotic assisted prostatectomy genetic testing revealed that I am BRCA2 positive, which apparently is why the cancer is so aggressive. I need to change my provider to a facility that has a team approach and IS FAMILIAR WITH THIS GENE MUTATION. Path reports and a PMSA PET/CT shows the cancer is now in a lymphnode, Time is of the essence!

Maryvilleman, I would highly recommend Mayo-Rochester. In early September 2022, I was told that my PSA was increasing at a high rate. I called Mayo-Rochester, and within three weeks I completed my initial visit, MRI, and biopsy. Six weeks later, I had a radical prostatectomy. Incredible doctors and support staff, I can't imagine going through this without the level of support Mayo provided.
Best of luck with your decision,
Jim

I'm tagging a handful of members who have been to Mayo Clinic at various locations like @dandl48 @jimcinak @jimplwonard2021 @jerryegge @kayak461 @dpcarriere @hammer101 @keismom2 @bobvan @jic811 @waynen @curious10 and many others.
With respect to having prostate cancer with the BRCA gene, @bens1 may have some insight.
