Dr. Peter Pitocchi<\/p><\/div>\n

Dr. Pitocchi was Herb\u2019s Internist in Orange Park, Fl. for many years, and upon a basic annual physical examination in 2010 is when the discovery of the cancer process started. Dr. Pitocchi ran a slew of tests and once the problem was located, referred him to the Urologist to proceed with the necessary treatment. If it wasn\u2019t for Dr. Pitocchi\u2019s swift action, the Cancer may have spread quicker, and lessened the chances of any type of recovery or remission. Dr. Pitocchi stayed in contact with Herb throughout his treatment in Florida, as well as through the treatment in Texas. After 7 months of Chemo and radiation in Texas, Herb went back to Florida for a 2 month break in which Dr. Pitocchi kept a close eye on Herb. Unfortunately, Herb developed some chest pain while back in Florida and it was Dr. Pitocchi that led the charge in determining the cause and game planning a potential treatment. The Cancer had spread to his lungs, and because he was so weak from the treatment he received in Texas, he was unable to receive any type of treatment. It was Dr. Pitocchi that notified the family that it would be prudent for all family members to get to Florida for Herbs last days. For these reasons, Dr. Peter Pitocchi is our Herbies Hero.<\/p>\n
