Just for everyone information:

1. The last time I looked at the CURE magazine Gilda's club was mentioned it in.

2. Barb my husband was treated for Malignant Melanoma Stage 3 at Beth Israel in Longwood. I have also been concerned about doctors and treatment.

FYI Gilda used to visit the children at Sloane Kettering Memorial Hospital in NY. The only reason I know this, my son was a patient at the hospital. Fortunately he is okay and his cyst was benign.

Some years ago we agreed we would never move more than an hours drive from an airport. Easy access for treatment. He no longer goes to Beth Israel but is treated and seen regularly by a local doctor.

I think he will continue going to his local doctor who knows his history, and it will not cost that much to see him.

Do not know if anyone wants to join us or not, but traditionally, we do an annual yard sale to raise money for Cancer Research. It is both a rewarding and heartbreaking day.

The rewarding part is easy to figure out - we raise money, and on the other side is meeting so many people who either have cancer, are survivors, know someone who has cancer or a close friend, relative or significant other has died from cancer.

Tal, thanks for bumping this. I have not been on this site for quite a few days.
