Mayo (Jacksonville, FL) or Emory (Atlanta)

Thanks for your reply.

I was diagnosed with low grade superficial bladder cancer 2 years ago. The initial tumor was very large and was removed at a small hospital in South GA. I immediately moved to Emory once the diagnoses was confirmed to be cancer. 14 months later several small low grade tumors (10) returned and were removed. I was given one full course of BCG without any major complications. 3 small low grade tumors returned on first check up after 1st course of BCG. Since the cancer returned I was scheduled for and just completed my 2nd full course of BCG. The last 4 treatments or round 2 were very very painful with blood clots etc.

I am now considering moving from Emory to Mayo in Jacksonville. I really like the doctors at Emory but I am being told by a lot of my friends (who aren't medical experts) to move to Mayo since this seems to be getting more and more serious. I would be seeing a seasoned doctor in the BC field who previously worked with Duke University. If I stay with Emory I will be switching over to a younger doctor but with a great resume and graduate of UCLA.

Any experience or recommendations for these 2 hospitals would be greatly appreciated. This decision has been a big stress for me and I want to make the best choice for my health. My ultimate goal is to keep my bladder and one day become cancer free.
