I am presently sitting in a hospital room in The Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. For over a year pulmonologists from my home town and here in TV were watching a mass in my lung. They all continued to tell me that while they did not know what it was they didn't think it was cancer. Two week ago my wife contacted Mayo mayoclinic.com and asked for an appointment. Last Wednesday we arrived and within 15 minutes after meeting with the pulmonologist he told us I had a rare form of cancer. The next day we had more tests and the surgeon told us the same thing. I had surgery last Monday and am now waiting to be discharged home. Just contact Mayo and you will get an answer. Note: If you do make an appointment be prepared to spend 3-5 days there for tests and evaluations. They should tell you this but we found out the hard way. Best of luck!
