        The Affiliate Directory for Cancer Support Communities lists GC Chicago at 312.464.9900.  Its supposed to be a state listing of support groups available.  There is also a state social work representative who should have a list of available support groups: Maureen Ann Brinkman, LCSW, OSW-C, 630-352-5408 or email at [email protected].  Hope this helps.

                    As a melanoma research nurse, I know all of the physicians listed above are excellent.  I think Steve O'Day is probably has done the most research with melanoma than the others, but they are all excellent physicians.
