Support Group Survey

This fall, The Brain Tumor Foundation will be announcing a new series of support groups for brain tumor patients, their caregivers and loved ones. Participants will be enabled to discuss common issues, share personal stories and helpful information, and overall, feel less isolated, because no one should battle a brain tumor alone.
