How to get the column index of the current cell?

I have this code here...

For Each cell In worksheet.Cells(8, 2, lastRow, lastCol)
    Select Case "What Goes Here"
    End Select
Next

I want to verify the column that the current cell is in. I can use...

cell.Address

but that returns a string with both the column letter and row. Would there be another way of getting maybe just the index or letter only of the column or would I just have to do something like....

If cell.Address.Contains("A")
