Doctor's departure to suspend child cancer program

URBANA – Kids with cancer will lose their treatment program and the cancer doctor currently provided by Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana starting Nov. 1.

Carle officials said they will be temporarily suspending the pediatric hematology/oncology program in a month because its only doctor, Mark Musselman, is transferring to general pediatrics at Carle Clinic.
