Not going through chemo either, I don't think we've limited to anyone but that's just my opinion if you want to add your name to the list go ahead

Sinsin I'm in Orlando and so are a few others. Look at the thread Orlando Chemo Ladies and Orlando Babes. Maybe when you come in October we could to do a get together. Also the Komen walk is in October I don't know the exact dates. Hope you're doing well health wise.

Hello FL friends! Medical marijuana is on the ballot this November. Please consider voting for it. I think a lot of people could benefit from it.Thank you!

Hi there. I am new to this thread. I live in Volusia but all of my treatment is with Dr. Molthrop at Florida Hospital Orlando. I don't have a start date for chemo yet, but my port goes in 10/21. I know I will have 8 weeks of AC and 12 of Taxol. I'm pretty terrified. Looking forward to hearing any words of wisdom.

Hi I am in NW Fl been through chemo, surgery with tissue expander placement, radiation, emergency surgery to remove tissue radiation was tearing my skin. I now have an open wound from a drain that didn't work having to pack the wound twice a day. Its been a trip one I didn't want to take but it is better than the alternative. If I can help ask away and if anyone has advice for me I'm more than willing to listen.

Hi honey, I live in Spring Hill, Florida. But, I had my BC Treatment at Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fl. Wonderful place for Miracles to happen. A lot of people live far from Tampa. But, they are willing to travel far to just get there. It is a wonderful hospital. Good Luck...

Welcome Desm, I'm in Orlando and I'm stage 4 but doing great at the moment. There are other Florida women on these threads that are closer to you in treatment, I went thorough my original Stage 2 treatment in 2010 but I was living in Houston, TX at the time, still if you need anything or just to talk I'm here for you.

Hi annointd, welcome to the Florida thread, there are a few of us here in Central Florida and hopefully more of them will answer your call, unfortunately I won't be able to meet you when you come because I'll be traveling myself out of the country, but be sure to keep an eye on the thread and the other one there's an Orlando Chemo thread.
Hope you have a great day!
