Just curious if there's anyone on the boards going to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. I am lucky to live about 45 minutes from there and was referred by my PCP.I was just diagnosed last week with IDC, 8mm mass. I'm estrogen/progesterone+ and HER2- . I was leaning towards lumpectomy with radiation afterwards, but got a call from my dr yesterday that there's another area they want to biopsy. So now my decision is on hold until next week.

    My daughter in law is flying there from from Virginia for a disease process totally unrelated to cancer, but life threatening. I have been there with her for a week this month and very impressed. I wish I could tell you if they are highly rated for breast cancer. I will be back with her again May 3. Hope you find the place best for you.

    I grew up in MN and still have lots of family up there. Over the years several relatives have been treated at the Mayo clinic for a variety of things. If I still lived there the Mayo Clinic would be the only place I'd consider getting treatment. I don't think you could find a better place to be seen. You are fortunate to have this quality of care available to you.

    You are so lucky to live near such an amazing facility. IMO where you are treated is key in this process. Good luck and please keep us posted...
