A Series at Gilda’s Club Kentuckiana
Our “Frankly Speaking About Cancer” series dives into specific topics that matter to you and can address various types of cancers like bladder, bone, brain, breast, colorectal, head and neck, kidney, leukemia, liver, lung, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, ovarian, and skin cancer.
Other important themes may be addressed as well, like cancer genetics, caregiving, clinical trials, the financial aspects of cancer care, the relationship between HIV and cancer, immunotherapy, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, mental health, nutrition, precision medicine, and effective communication about cancer treatments and side effects.
Exploring topics that matter to you
In addition to our Frankly Speaking Series, we also offer a variety of workshops on all sorts of topics that are important to you! For instance, our “Legal 101” session covers wills, trusts, healthcare directives, and how to prepare for emergencies by organizing your important documents. Plus, our “Ask the Doc” series allows you to chat with a doctor in a relaxed, non-hospital setting, giving you the opportunity to ask your questions without the daunting medical jargon.
At Gilda’s Club, we’re committed to providing the resources and referrals you need, whether it’s recipes and nutrition during cancer or accessing financial aid. We’re here for you, supporting your journey every step of the way!
