This is just my personal opinion, but shouldn't your wife be asking her Oncologist for a referral to someone competent right here in TV? They all attend the same seminars during the year and they all get to know one another etc. etc.
That said - my husband had a very rare form of cancer, found here during a routine procedure, diagnosed here and treated here. He was referred to Rakesh Rohatgi, MD, TriCounty Hematology Oncology, 1503 Buenos Aires Blvd, Lady Lake for his chemo treatment. This office is in the vicinity of The Village Hospital. My husband is five years out from his bout with Cancer and gets checked every six months by Rohatgi.
We also have a friend who was diagnosed locally with breast cancer and was referred to Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Her operation was performed there and her schedule of chemo and radiation was set up by them, but they referred her to Dr. Rohatgi for her treatment which lasted over a couple of years. She is in remission and returns to Mayo every six months for her checkups.
At one time people from TV did have to travel some distance to get good medical help, but that has changed quite significantly. Once the required treatment has been established any good clinic can administer the meds.
My suggestion - ask her oncologist to refer her to someone here.
