We are back at the Mayo for research purposes on Monday and Tuesday. This is the test that uses the radio active materials from Japan. We will inquire around about how they may be able to help us with our quest.

The insurance company rejected our second request yesterday.

Thanks for all of the suggestions about contacting TV shows, etc, but I don't think this situation qualifies. To the insurance company, there are many other doctors that are in his network, that are capable of giving a second opinion. And to them, that is all this is about - a second opinion.

I think that I need to send the letter outlining the difference in a second opinion and a trip to the mayo. But I am going to wait and see what we are able to find out next week while we are in Rochester.
