Default Breast Oncologist Recommendation


I am new to The Villages and need to establish medical providers with the most critical being an oncologist whose focus is breast cancer. I am taking chemo now and want my current physician to communicate with the new doctor to ensure we will continue with the best course of treatment. If you know of an oncologist with this expertise, please provide me with the name and location of your recommended physician. Thank you.

My neighbor continues her chemo for breast cancer during the winter season and she sees Dr. Hussein.(sp?) Her main oncologist is in Chicago.

I'm a "graduate" of MOffitt Cancer Center recommended in Susan Love's The Breast Book .

Tampa is an easy drive. Moffitt is near the interstate and on the campus of University of South Florida.

I had breast cancer in 2003, was treated there. I only go once a year now.
