Thank you for your thorough answer. I find it really helpful. I wondered if going locally would be a bit more personal or if going to a big place like Mayo would be like dropping into a machine, but the local medical care where I am feels really backward and inadequate.
Does anyone know how to begin at Mayo? I don’t even know who to call?

I just had first consultation with Mayo this morning ( virtual ) and I like it . From the moment I started with them they are pretty quick with communication, starting patient portal, setting up the appointment etc and very professional. Let me look for this link I used to reach out .I know - everything is overwhelming . Many ladies in this group were saying that we have to feel comfortable with choices we make and for me piece of mind is to choose the best doctors and facility which has state of the art equipment . Doing my research MC is all of that .

I started with simple info and then Mayo Clinic contacted with me - very organized.
