About BTSG

We understand that brain tumour patients and their families can have an overwhelming need for emotional support and practical advice. The Brain Tumour Support Group make effort to help such patients and families to cope with many problems associated with the disease. Besides the physical group, the Yahoo Group is also created as a platform for members who could not meet regularly, to recieve updates on the support group activities and to discuss any topics associated with brain tumours. We welcome you to write to us if you are interested to join the Yahoo Group.

By actively participating in discussion and through meeting others who had similar experiences, we hope to be a source of support to you and your family in this battle. Members are encouraged to share in a "what worked for me" rather than an "I think you should" way.

It is also our aim to raise public awareness about brain tumour through education in providing up-to-date information. A variety of topics related to brain tumours would usually be delivered by doctor specialists at the meeting. It is our hope that brain tumour patients and their family members will find the psychosocial and emotional support necessary to improve their quality of life.



A
brain tumor diagnosis can be scary and overwhelming. Connecting to others is an important way to find information, support, and hope. Brain tumor support group includes information to help you and/or your loved one find the support you need to stay strong.

Support Group
Brain tumor support group are filled with people who have been where you are now – they have been diagnosed, gone through treatment, and are living as survivors. Finding a group in your area for networking and support can be very helpful.

Talk with Another Survivor or Caregiver
Most patients and families tell us they wish they had met another survivor sooner. Talking one-on-one with someone who has been where you are can help you learn about their experience and share what questions or feelings you have.

BTSG will help you to search by age, tumor type, or caregiving relationship for someone to talk with by email or phone.
