"I stopped sitting at home saying 'why me?' I began to crawl to The Wellness Community like someone in search of an oasis in the desert. My car couldn't get there fast enough to be nourished by other cancer patients and to know that
I was not alone."

- Gilda Radner from her book
"It's Always Something"
