As some of you know my uncle is now going through the staging/diagnosing process for EC. They live in Tallahassee, FL. Is anyone (William?) aware of anywhere close by for them to look for treatment, staging etc?
I can' believe they have to go through this now too...

    Hi Kim,
    I am trying to think who and what is in Fl. There are some guys on the chat line from Florida. I will make sure I ask them and get back to you. You are such an amazing daughter and now niece! God bless you.
    I will be in touch.

    Moffitt Patient
    Please, please, PLEASE get down to Tampa ASAP. We live in St. Augustine Beach, and my husband has been a patient there since July 2007. He has had nothing but EXCELLENT care, the whole gastroenterology dept., oncologists, radiologists, surgeons are the very best in the whole Southeast. They have the latest radiology machines, surgical techniques, cryosurgery, etc. clinical trials, and chemo treatments. My husband actually received his chemo here at home in St. Augustine, which made it much easier for BOTH of us, since he was home every day. They helped coordinate and implement this for him. His MAIN oncologist and surgeons,radiologists, etc. are at Moffitt. We travel there every 3 months for his follow up PET scans.

    This is from their website:
    As part of an elite group of National Cancer Institute (NCI) Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Moffitt focuses on the development of early stage translational research aimed at the rapid translation of scientific discoveries to benefit patient care.

    There is a Hilton Garden Inn and a Hampton Inn that will give you special Moffitt rates. Moffitt also has a free housing lodge. Go to their website for all the info: http://www.moffitt.org/

    Be assured your uncle will be in the best hands, and receive the best care available. Hope this helps. If I can be of any help, please just send me an e mail. cherseg1@hotmail.com
