@naturegirl15 Thank You!! I know you get it and it is so helpful and reassuring having you in my corner. I totally agree, I’m going to have to dig deep in my toolbox, but I know I can do it!
Yes, I’m very seriously contemplating Mayo. I know UM is an excellent hospitable with so many patients, but I can’t help feeling they dropped the ball a bit.
I’m curious how that works with treatment, are you able to get treatment closer to home or to you have to go there?
Our colors too are fading fast here, but even on this gloomy day the wind is still with Fall in the air. Wising you a glorious Sunday! 💜

@jjevitts I wanted you to know that I'm thinking of you. Your consult with your oncologist is tomorrow, right? You said that you feel U of M dropped the ball. With all the delays you experienced and the placating that you got when you kept trying to answers for the pain I can understand your concern.
I going to suggest that even with all this anxiety and stress that you "trust your gut" with this. Figure out how much confidence you feel with your consult tomorrow and whether you'd like another opinion on diagnosis and treatment.
Do you have employer-based private insurance? Medicare? Whatever insurance you have you can do two things today if it feels comfortable to do. Call your insurance and ask if you can go "in-network" to Mayo Clinic with a referral from your doctor. Also consider calling Mayo Clinic in Rochester with your insurance information and make sure they will take your insurance.
Contact Us-Mayo Clinic (scroll down for the Minnesota phone number):

If you decide to travel to Rochester, MN, both @gynosaur42 and I have sought our respective treatments there and can give you ideas about how to prepare and where to stay.
How are you doing today?
