Cancer Support VI

It seems that many people in the U.S. Virgin Islands are under the impression that there is no chemotherapy available on island. Charlene Kehoe of Cancer Support VI has been working on ways to get the word out that chemo is still available in the territory since there are oncologists here.

Dr. Erole Hobdy — VI Oncology & Hematology at the VI Medical Foundation Building; 776-1551

Dr. Rabindranath Bachan — Medical Oncologist, Foothills Building, first floor; 714-2462

Dr. Elizabeth J. Delgiacco — Medical Oncologist, 48 Castle Coakley, St. Croix; 772-1551

Two surgeons are also performing surgeries for lumpectomy and mastectomy:
