Hey Kat - You wrote once before that your family weren't there for you the way they would be if you had cancer. Maybe this is your mom's way of trying to be there for you. Everyone wants to do something, when you just want to be cared for. Cancer is easier on loved ones that way -- there are obvious things "to do."
If it's only a days drive, why not let your mom feel helpful? OTOH, I doubt Mayo would offer much that isn't already available in a city the size of Chicago. But, OTOH, I benefited a lot by going to consultant my p-doc recommended and then being admitted to McLean, which is Boston's premier research-psych hospital.
