My wife was diagnosed with Stage 3 Uterus Cancer with 8 Lymph Nodes involved. This was after she had exams at MD Anderson in, Houston, Texas and Moffit in Tampa who missed the cancer. We ended up at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Three things I have found in selecting a medical solution. 1. Should be a teaching hospital, 2. Understand their procedures and practices and 3. Understand the physician(s) that are on their listings. Mayo met all of the requirements and found the cancer. After a 5 hour operation, one brief Chemo treatment and 6 weeks of radiation (all at Mayo), 3 months wait and then a complete follow up she is totally cancer free. All at Mayo were fantastic and did not miss anything. Just a brief statement on one persons experience.
