Does Mayo Jacksonville offer frozen section margin checks for BC?

Posted by lilacs777 @lilacs777, Jan 17 1:20pm

I'm trying to find a surgeon that offers frozen section margin eval during surgery, especially for checking the lymph nodes. Diagnosed with invasive lobular, which is hard to see on imaging so don't fully trust pre-op imaging. Really looking to get 1 surgery to get all the cancer. I heard that Mayo MN offers frozen section margins during surgery but I'm pretty close to Jacksonville Mayo so would love to go there instead. I've tried calling but can't get past the appointmt schedulers to get an answer. One doc at another hospital told me that Mayo doesnt do frozen section anymore because it didnt work well. Any inputs on this would be much appreciated, thank you!
