My mom has an appointment in about six weeks at the Breast Center at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. I had to light several fires under her butt to get her to be her own advocate, and I'm thrilled that she'll be out of the sticks to get her second opinion.
In Wyoming, the doctor and radiologist have been comparing her current mammogram (mid-August 2006) with a mammogram from December 2000 to give her a benign/malignant diagnosis. When she made her Mayo appointment, the person that set up the appointment told her to not even bring the 2000 mammogram-- it was too old and they didn't want to look at it.
I hope that this truly is effort spent to hear that she's cancer-free. It's nice to know that she's going to be examined thoroughly and according to current medical protocols.
