Living with Cancer
Definition
Diagnosed with cancer, now what? Find out what you need to know beyond cancer, surgery and treatments; “How do I tell the kids?” “How much time do I have to spend telling people about my cancer, treatments and recovery?” “Will my dr. be offended if I get a second opinion?” With cancer comes questions and situations that you weren’t prepared for, we can help!

I am a twelve-year survivor and am so thankful for Gilda's Club (now Cancer Pathways Midwest). I usually attend the weekly yoga class and thoroughly enjoy it. I am so relaxed afterwards and I need that. It’s so nice to get together with other survivors and gain new friends. Thank you so much to all of you who make Gilda’s Club available to us. I can’t imagine not having it in my life now.DebbieSurvivor
