Arkansas?

Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if anyone lives and/or gets treated in Arkansas. I was dx with stage 4, triple positive bc, and I don't see a lot of treatment options in Arkansas. Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks!

Re: Arkansas?

I live in the Central Arkansas area, and I got all my care through the Baptist Health system. My team coordinated everything and my treatment was excellent.

Re: Arkansas?

Which part of Arkansas are you near? I will ask my sister where her friend is receiving her treatments. She has been satisfied, so far. They live near Little Rock, so it may be Baptist.

Re: Arkansas?

I'm in Memphis and receive my care at the West Clinic. I have a friend in Arkansas who makes the trek to Memphis to be treated at West Clinic. I've never thought to ask her why or if there aren't any satisfactory options in the state. The West Clinic is excellent. I recommend that you check them out on the internet. They have a very good website.
