Frankly Speaking About Cancer with The Wellness Community will be the
first Internet talk radio show on the VoiceAmerica(TM) Network's Health
& Wellness Channel to focus specifically on how to live a better life with
cancer. The radio program will feature patients, physicians, researchers,
social workers and caregivers with whom listeners can connect and draw inspiration.

HostId=546&ChannelId=5&Flag=1.

"The most exciting aspect of this show is the opportunity to connect listeners
seeking hope and information with other cancer survivors and caregivers from
all over the country. There is nothing more intimate and more hopeful than hearing
in a person's own voice how they are overcoming the challenge of cancer," said Kim
Thiboldeaux
, President & CEO of The Wellness Community, headquartered in Washington,
D.C.


"In addition, we'll be bringing researchers, physicians and advocates to the program
so listeners can stay informed and know the right questions to ask their health care
team," Thiboldeaux added. "For over 25 years, The Wellness Community has offered
people living with cancer free social and emotional support programs, tailored
publications and online support groups and information. This program is the latest
in our effort to reach out in relevant ways to all people affected by cancer."

Frankly Speaking About Cancer will take the listener on a journey through topics
that inform and inspire. Episodes will tackle critical issues such as: achieving
the best care and quality of life, new research and treatments, relieving stress
and anxiety, life beyond treatment and talking to kids about cancer. Every week,
Kim Thiboldeaux will bring together noted physicians, researchers, nurses and social
workers, as well as patients and caregivers from every walk of life to share their
experiences and unique perspective.

With hope, Wendy
