mxichoc18I am the wife of a brain tumor patient. If you go to the National Brain Tumor Foundation website there is a list of people from across the country who have been through this and are available to talk to and offer support to other caregivers.

If you are in the seacoast area, get in touch with SteppingStones and they have a ton of experience,etc that you can pull from. One thing I've learned is that your support will be so valuable to her so just put it out there that you are available to talk or whatever. Be real with her and talk about it- don't pretend to move around the elephant in the middle of the room because that takes too much time and energy. Support is the only thing you can give...good luck

My friend's husband was just diagnosed with a brain tumor, yesterday afternoon. I don't know what to do for her as a friend, what to say, when to show up to be with her... Any advice from your perspective/experience.
