CELEBRATE LIFE Ladies Cancer Support Group Carol Davidson , 941-575-0956, dcdavidson@earthlink.net

We were very pleased to have Dr. Daniel
Dosoretz, MD of 21st Century Oncology speak
at our March meeting. He did a Power Point
presentation entitled: “Update on Cancer:
Trends and Therapies.” Dr. Dosoretz used the
slides and handouts to reinforce his explanation
of the latest cancer treatment options available.
He described these latest advancements in a
way we could all understand about the new
technologies, such as advancement in genetics,
studies of germinal mutations and now
immunotherapies and now stereotactic
Radiation
Therapy. As
cancer
survivors, we
love to stay Dr. Daniel Dosoretz
informed
about the latest discoveries in cancer treatment. I
believe everyone should stay informed as you never
know when cancer will affect you and/or a family
member.

We had a group of 15 at Sandra’s Restaurant for lunch.
We invited guests to
the lecture, so we
had two men at lunch
with the ladies.
