Dedication This booklet was inspired by the many courageous people we have met in our lives. It is from their strength and courage that we have learned more about the true powers that lie within us. From their experiences, we know that their quality of life was significantly improved and their ability to fight their disease strengthened through Supportive Care. We dedicate this booklet to three of our special supporters: Daniel Geller, Laurence Myers, and Tessa Thomas Newsom, who have shown remarkable courage and determination in maintaining their quality of life during their battle with cancer. Their aid has helped to make the Cancer Supportive Care Program possible. We also wish to thank Ortho Biotech, Inc. and the San Francisco Giants for their generous support.
