For my MANY radiation treatments, I went to the Robert Boissoneault Oncology Institute and my treatment was supervised by Dr. Mabanta. They were absolutely wonderful. Like the Morse Bldg, this place is directly next to the hospital and golf cart accessible.
I don't think you could do wrong with this combo. Good luck.

I have forwarded this post to my next door neighbor and dear friend Ruth who is a snowbird and currently in Chicago. Her breast cancer recently returned in the form of lung cancer and she is receiving once a week chemo treatments in Chicago and she wondered about the oncology treatment centers nearby in TV. Her oncologist knows about Motts in Tampa and the University of Gainesville oncology center but I am glad to know about a treatment center nearby. We are hoping that she can return for the winter and continue her treatments in The Villages.
I wish BOTH of you continued health and intensely care and hope that you are doing well. I hate cancer, and I hope and pray to live long enough to see even more breakthroughs against this awful disease. I am GLAD that stem cell research can continue without any conflict now that they can clone cells. That will be the biggest difference and ultimately trigger the information for treatment of most cancers
I firmly believe. Here is a big hug from someone who has been there kinda. Each kind of cancer is different I know. I had breast cancer and so did my daughter. My port was removed last December.
