@leeosteo I live in a rural area of Michigan and this type of surgery isn’t performed where I live. My gynecologist gave me a choice of being referring to the University of Michigan or Mayo Clinic. I chose Mayo Clinic and fortunately had an appointment with a GYNOncologist within a few days of the referral.

I know there are other members who went to Mayo Clinic however our members are from all over the world. I know of members in our Support Group who live Canada, in Northeastern U.S., the Pacific Northwest, California, Texas, and Southeastern U.S. and they had their medical closer to home.

Are you in the U.S.? Many of us went to an academic medical center where there is both clinical care and research and part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health-National Cancer Institute.
