Hi @bettyjpt. I'm new here, and I'm glad you mentioned the dates. I wonder if there is anyone here in 2023?

Thinking of Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville and was wondering if anyone had experience with them and perhaps experience with staying at Hope House?

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal grade 2, same as you. The tumor is .9cm with Lymphovascular invasion present. (whatever that means). Of course I got lab results on a friday off of the computer and it's a holiday weekend so the doctor's office hasn't called me. My local medical care seems kind of backward and incompetent and I'd like to know about people's experiences with the Florida Mayo Clinic? --Thanks.

Betty,
I am here, and I just joined. I just got my first abnormal mammogram. Instead of doing the recommended "spot magnification" and ultrasound in the backwater city of Memphis, I am wishing to see one of Mayo's breast specialist physicians and move on from there.
I called them and the said the scheduler will reach out on Monday. My health is everything. If something is wrong, I want it diagnosed at Mayo. I, too, would like to know other women's experience with their breast team. How far are you from Jacksonville?
So sorry to read about your diagnosis. Let me know if you decide to schedule with them.
Barbara
