Red blood cell deficiency can lead to anemia and problems in the circulatory system. Blood tests and bone marrow examination are necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. Leukemia has no known cause but can be caused by radiation, viruses, chemicals, or genetic disposure. Treatments include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, consolidation therapy, and transfusions.

About us:

Since 1983, the physicians of Osceola Cancer Center have worked hard in serving oncology and hematology patients in and around the Osceola County area. The hospital affiliations for the center include Osceola Regional Medical Center; Florida Hospital, Kissimmee; Florida Hospital, Celebration; and St. Cloud Hospital, giving referral and emergency coverage 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Full service is what you can find at this facility that offers patients a one-stop service for all of their treatment needs with the most recent technological advances and professional care. The staff of physicians is proud to serve you through the tough and difficult times and through the beautiful moments in life.

The Osceola Cancer Center is a place devoted to finding every way possible to provide the highest quality of care for cancer patients, their partners, children, parents, loved ones, and friends. These people that surround the patient with their love are the heart, soul and family for the patient. The Osceola Cancer Center makes sure that they are treated with every amount of respect that they deserve.

The cancer patient, their family members and so forth can talk about their personal issues and receive psychosocial support for their concerns during cancer treatment by talking with Judy Shell, R.N., PhD, the Medical Family Therapist at Osceola. She is a professional who specializes in the emotional, spiritual and relational effects of illness. Before working as a Medical Family Therapist, she worked for years as an Oncology Nurse Specialist. Her work is motivated by compassionate care for individuals and their families, to respect their opinions and information that they share with her. She works with them to build strength while living as a cancer patient or with a loved one that suffers from it. Research has proven that patients who receive psychosocial support during cancer treatment report a significant reduction in suffering, an increase in hope, an improvement in meaningful relationships, and a longer life span.

The Osceola Cancer Center stands apart from other cancer treatment centers because they participate in Clinical Trials as a means of advancing the field of oncology care. Whether it is through a new drug, a new combination of drugs or a new technique or technology, clinical research may not only benefit current patients but efficiently prepares future cancer patients for the treatment they are about to receive.

Aside from Judy Shell, RN, PhD, there are 7 well-trained, highly professional and soon-to-be or existing board-certified physicians at Osceola Cancer Center. Each member has a full history of internship/fellowship training, vast academic studies in the oncology and hematology fields and real-life experiences working in prestigious hospitals. They will offer cancer patients the best in: psychosocial support, cutting-edge radiation therapy, chemotherapy, onsite laboratory services and medical family therapy.

So if you are living with cancer and need the best help and support for you and the people closest to you, then contact the Osceola Cancer Center. At the center, the team understands how hard it is to live with cancer and how hard it is for your loved ones to watch you live with it. They will use every resource to not only treat your type of cancer, but help your life with cancer.
