Post Comment
The Arizona Cancer Center speaker, Dr. Lee Cranmer stated that a multidisciplinary sarcoma clinic is in the process of being formed in Tucson, with assistance from the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. Dr. Cranmer is one of the few medical professionals in Arizona that have any sarcoma experience/knowledge.
For the next meeting, we will also invite patients/survivors/caregivers from other parts of Arizona, as some attendees came from the Phoenix and Sierra Vista areas. October 15
is the tentative date for the next meeting.
A member from the Phoenix area wants to pursue the start of a "sister/brother" group
in her metro area.
Gotta spread the word.......
