There is now a brain tumour support group on the 2nd and the 4th Monday of the month in the afternoon 1 pm - 4 pm.

 

The 2nd Monday afternoon is for patients support.

The 4th Monday afternoon is for carers support.

 

We are hopeful that at each session there will be one of the specialist brain tumour nurses present, but also a healthcare professional from the Cancer Support Centre.

 

At each session we will have an education slot from 2 pm - 3 pm.

Karen Holmes and Helen Lee are trying to organise speakers and topics for further dates, any suggestions welcome!

 

The rest of the time is free to support each other and ask the questions you want to ask.

 

Each topic will move across to the Carers and Patient group, some people will want to come together and some individually, and that is fine.

 

This group will only be as good as you make it, as it is YOUR support group.

Tell us what you want.
