Hello. My wife was diagnosed with ALS 12-20-17 after months of symptoms. She has been through so much in the last two years that the symptoms were overlooked by her doctors. She had surgery for breast cancer 01-2016; heavy chemo for 18 weeks; 33 radiation treatments; broken pelvis from fall 01-2017, drop foot neurophy diagnosed mid-summer. Her neurologist has agreed that we should seek a second opinion. We have an appointment at the Mayo Clinic for 01-30-2018 - sooner if there is a cancellation.
This is my first post to the ALS forum and hope to gain insites from all you brave and caring folks.
One of many questions is: should we drive to Wisconsin (from Virginia, 18 hours) or should we fly - Norfolk to Chicago to Rochester, Minnesota. I'm concerned that changing flights, etc. will be hard for her. Costs are not a consideration.
Thank you in advance for any thoughts.
