Welcome @cpmcb, I'm tagging fellow members @altc321 @mikewdby @victoriadukes @tpw3845 @chemobile @elm60 and @sloped483, who I believe have all mentioned that they went for pancreatic cancer assessment and treatment at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida. They can share their experiences first hand.
Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida is designated by the National Pancreas Foundation (NPF) as approved NPF Centers — a recognition for high-quality, multidisciplinary care. Here's more info about the doctors at Mayo in Florida https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pancreatic-cancer/doctors-departments/ddc-20355430?locations=Jacksonville%2c%20FL#e60ad0d0bc354936a881a57de90ea8a3

Although my primary Mayo doctors are located @ Rochester, I’ve had a followup contrast MRI at Jacksonville Mayo. I have another one planned for this January as we stay in Florida for the winter. They are monitoring a lesion on my Pancreas for the past 18 months. Yes, I get ‘scananxiety’ every time - but I get the same attention and care at both locations.
The story I love to tell is,…my primary Mayo Pancreatic doctor @ Rochester knew I was nervous and worried at my first visit. I was almost in tears upon hearing about the so far non-cancerous cyst. He looked at me, put his hand on my knee, looked me in the eyes and said “don’t worry,…you’re at Mayo”. I thought WOW! It has kept me going the past 18 months. Here’s praying that it continues not to grow.
Victoria Dukes I believe has been actually treated at Jax Mayo. Hopefully she can share her experience.
My prayers and thoughts to all, to trust in Gods will. It’s hard to do - but as the passage goes “if God takes care of the little sparrows, He will take care of us.
