Customer Reviews

A actor who was willing to share how she felt.

Ifirst saw Gilda on Saturday night live. Every chance I got to see her, I did. When I read this book, it gave me an insight into how people with cancer deal with it and know that there's no cure. My son has Aids and has been told that he has any where from 3 months to the end of the year. He's only 32 and has a son 12. His son knows that he has Aids but doesn't know at what stage it's at. Gilda was very brave to take on all that she did and still have to deal with cancer and the chemo and what it's effect it has on you and your loved ones. She is someone that all who have a deadly decease should look at how she lived her life and try to have some of the braveness she had.
