Bladder cancer: Anyone treated at Mayo Clinic?

I can relate, I have issues that I seem to hit a brick wall on, one of the main reasons I am seeking a new PCP. I swear I’m going to scream if I can’t find someone to listen and help. The brick wall needs to come down!! Good luck in your future.

Hope you have better luck getting your PCP's attention....
The old "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" routine gets exasperating, but might be your only solution. Keep bugging them, but do it more often!
In my case, being a vet, the VA Triage line did the bugging for me.
When I left messages for the PCP, I stood less than a 50% chance of getting a return call within a reasonable time.
After contacting Triage, they made the call... BIG difference! Those calls were returned 100%, almost all within a reasonable time.
For fellow vets, here's the info:
VA Nurse Triage Line (call 24/7) 1/888-598-7793
By contacting Triage, in essence you're going over your PCP's head... although they would be too proud to admit it.
During a recent return call from my PCP I mentioned discussing my bladder issue with the Triage nurse.
She cut me short with "Who are you gonna listen to, her or me!"
Any way, Best of luck to you also.
