This is an area to discuss religion. You might have been religious pre-diagnossis, but now you aren't. Or you might be even more religious now. How has religion changed (or not) since your Brain Tumor Diagnosis?

Hello Claire and welcome. Thanks for joining. I started this site because I had such difficulty finding benign brain tumor survivors, like myself. I'm a long term survivor (but have many side-effects): diagnosed in 1985 at age 11. Besides connecting with survivors, we can exchange medical info, get support, etc. There is also a Q & A with a neurosurgeon and a nutritionist under the Resources tab. Also there are many different groups such as relious discussions, migraines, seizures, depression and anxiety, etc. Thanks again for joining. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
