    Hello, 

    I went to Summit Medical Group in Berkeley Heights, NJ.  I'm very pleased with all the care I've gotten there - I'm one year out from surgery.

    Ty Girls for posting.  I am going to Hackensack UMC for treatment. Will be getting a port put in 11/23 it just seems the easier way to go once I saw the dance card  my onc filled out for me.  I will be getting 4 big girl treatments every other week of Cytoxan and Doxil . Then onto 12 weeekly treatments of something else that will save my life and then once every three weeks for 40 weeks. I live in Jersey City and bartend there also. Just looking for company on this road we are going.

    Hi, I had my surgery at Fullerton surgical center, started follow up treatment at St Barnabus, which was wonderful, but then switched to Blumenthal Cancer Center, part of Valley Hospital.



    Good luck with your decision, ask lots of questions, and try to bring someone supportive with you.
