How long did it take to get a room?
I am from upstate SC and if accepted I hope to use the facilities.
I have cirrhosis and had been stable. But they found Cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct ca) and due to this rare disease, I don’t have many options.
Mayo is one of the few centers worldwide, that treats this.
I am currently waiting to see if they will accept me.

Are you looking for hotels or somewhere else? I've been an RN 33 yrs
Wjen traveling for assignments I use a site for furnished, all inclusive places
Try Furnished Finders
Apts. Condos, rooms in shared homes and housed
Check against crimegrades maps!
The owners are usually in healthcare
Shhhh its a secret! Lol

We purchased a condo on BAYMEADOWS rd. Got what we wanted in location, ground floor, end corner unit under trees and next to pool. Close to walk into parking to our door. Pets cost and HOAa reasonable. We paid dearly for it. But we have been happy for our visitors, family and pets we have. And the community neighbors have welcomed us like family. We move here in June2023 and kept our place in Ky. Last week I got the call to come in 5 hours later I was in Mayo Jacksonville being prepared for the liver transplant. In September I would had my exception points and was getting ready for more test in 20 days. But I was fortunate and got in way more early than expected with meld at 16.
We hope to recoup some expenses on sale or yearly rental. But we like it so much now we may keep for a second home. If financially we can make it work.
