If you or a family member have been newly diagnosed with a brain tumor, welcome to a place where no one wants to be a member of, but we are glad you found us. Please feel free to post here and ask as many questions as you like. Those of us who are either caregivers or the actual brain tumor patient have been where you are. It is a scary world to enter when you don't know an answers to the over 1000+ questions swirling in your head. We have this section to provide you with an avenue to ask those questions. Over the years we have come in contact with a large group of very knowledgeable individuals who have agreed to join us in our forum to provide the support needed and share what they have learned along the way.

Just know you are not alone. Feel free to ask anything. NO questions is stupid, so please don't feel that way.
