I'd like to tell your readers about a special cancer support community that you didn't mention in "Straight Talk about Ovarian Cancer" (April 2005)-Gilda's Club, named for the late actress/comedian Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer. So far, about 25 clubs in the United States and Canada offer emotional and social support to people living with any kind of cancer. To beat cancer, you not only need a great medical team, you also need to tend to your fragile spirit. You can find out more by visiting http://www.gildasclub.org/.
