How we can help

Did you know that there are over 120 types of brain tumours – glioblastomas (GBM4s), meningiomas, astrocytomas, gliomas are just a few – all of which require different treatment options? In some cases surgery is necessary; in others it may just be question of watch and wait. But you need to know what the best course of action is. brainstrust can help you.

Support groups

Not for everyone and sometimes only for a short period. But support groups can be really good at letting you know you are not alone. You can share information and hope, find mutual support and discover new ways to cope. Some are more adaptive than others. However, they can also cause feelings of depression and guilt, particularly if one person is doing poorly. It depends how well managed the support group is. brainstrust has made the decision not to use valuable resource on running and maintaining a ‘physical’ support group. There are plenty of successful groups in existence already, into which you can link. But we do have our online community, and if you fancy a chat, call us!
