Yeah, holidays definitely complicate scheduling for sure. Sorry you're caught up in that. I'm curious about the "seek local care" recommendation. Does Mayo mean that they can't see you at all? Or just that you can't contact them until after 1/15 and then they'll find an appointment for you? The second option would be better than the first, but neither would be great. Are you near a center of excellence or another top-notch provider where you can get in more quickly? Personally, I wouldn't wait until Mayo opens up to pursue consult, complete diagnosis and (hopefully) start of treatment. I would be on the phone Tuesday trying to get follow-ups organized for after the EUS.

They will talk with me at a phone appt that was scheduled. I have looked into UCSF here in No CA. I have the names of two surgeons with Whipple high volume. They have not called me back with their coordinator process yet. I had my GI send over a referral on 12/27. So, hopefully they call back on Tuesday. All calls into their system goes to VM. I’ll speak with my EUS doctor to see if can expedite. Crossing fingers it’s benign for now. Ty!
