Mayo did a new laser surgery on it and zapped that tumor! And that was many years ago, but she still goes occasionally down to Mayo for checkups every few years. It's a really long trip for you guys and Chance, but I'm glad it was a quick one. I hope all the follow up testing he suggested goes well. :)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-58367025971492957602015-09-26T08:20:33.421-05:002015-09-26T08:20:33.421-05:00I've heard many good things about Mayo Clinic....I've heard many good things about Mayo Clinic.

I grew up just 23 miles from their front door and ended up there about 20 years ago, after I had moved to Wisconsin, when my regular doctor couldn't diagnose a problem I was having, which Mayo diagnosed the first day as a rare auto-immune disease. For anything serious, that's where we'll go! Hope things continue to go ok for you and your family.Diane Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415549569316468139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-73981162679080684712015-09-25T19:49:53.743-05:002015-09-25T19:49:53.743-05:00I think everyone has probably heard of the Mayo Cl...I think everyone has probably heard of the Mayo Clinic.
