Hi @cathyras, I’ve had chemo brain and can so relate to looking right at something and not seeing it! Frustrating but it gets better with time. ☺️.
Here’s the information you’re looking for to get a second opinion at Mayo Clinic.
Click this link and it will take to the Mayo Clinic home page:
http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63
From there, you can select the Mayo campus that would be most convenient for you and begin the application process for an appointment. The easiest way would be to call the phone number listed and speak with a coordinater. They’ll help get you started. I hope you’re able to get in soon.
How are you progressing with your chemo treatments?

Is it possible to get a Mayo consult without having to go to the Mayo clinic? I have very current test results from my excellent oncologist, Dr. Messersmith at University of Colorado in Denver. However, I feel the desire to explore options that may be available at other institutions, besides Gemzar or GemAbraxane. At this point, I do not need chem. It has not been missed, has to sized and there are no visible tumors yet though my blood work incluflding my ctDNA indicate likely recurrence.. so very likely recurrence, but if it spreads I will need to make some important treatment decisions and would like to know my options in advance. Please provide guidance or names of doctors and institutions or a link. And please let me know whether there are any centers of excellence where that I can get a virtual consult. Thank you.
If absolutely necessary, I can travel, but I'm hoping to do one or two virtual consoles first.
