available nearby TV. No one has mentioned Inter Community Cancer Center. See the following:

The do have state of the art radiation equipment. My wife is a breast cancer survivor, having had the good fortune to be a candidate for using their then, new mammosite radiation therapy. Inserting of radiation device into the post surgery area.....twice per day for one week VS 17 weeks for typical whole breast radiation.
Their closest office is located on Rolling Acres behind Home Depot.
Once cancer becomes a personal issue it does not take long to discover what is really available in our area. Yes Moffit is a big name, gold standard reputation comprehensive cancer center... but not the only resource in the area.
I remain concerned how TV could change their support for Relay for Life after supporting it all these years.....for not splitting the contributions with TV Moffit Center....treatment of Relay for Life as a "competitor" for funds.
Plus the obvious advantage of TV having their own newspaper that plays the Moffit card front and center at a minimum daily (more power to those with the power....a fact of life).
As for a one stop treatment locale, it will not be that totally as presented by eliminating the equipment from the donation list that is located at Lake Imaging (that is now in partnership).
Yes it will be a great addition to have ANOTHER resource for those afflicted.
Many of which never asked for one dime from prospective users.
Like so many things that are handled arbitrarily by TV, most of the time the benefit they seek for themselves is complimented by the benfit provided to TV residents. These are not mutually exclusive.
