Your link to donate brings me to Paypal. I already have an account with Paypal but apparently the only way to send the payment to you is through your email address, which I do not…"

Beth Rosenthal left a comment for Karen Serpe"Thanks for getting back to me Karen. I've spent a ton of time networking, calling radio stations, etc. So I always wonder who will get what I'm trying to do.
How is your daughter doing? How old is she?"
Karen Serpe left a comment for Beth Rosenthal"Hi Beth~ In answer to your question, it must have been on either 1010 WINS radio or Q104.3 because they are the only two stations I listen to in the car and I distinctly remember hearing about your website on two different occasions while I…"
Kim Repsha left a comment for Karen Serpe"Karen, did you get a second opinion? Everyone told me that my brain tumor was inoperable until I met a Neurosurgeon who said she can remove anything. "

Hi Karen. I just appreciate your thoughtfulness. It's not only about the money. It's time consuming, but it needs to be done. So any amount is appreciated. I'll also add your name to the Donations tab.
Also, if you know any businesses who want to make a donation too, please pass that on. They can email me at beth.f.rosenthal@gmail.com for details. It might be worthwhile depending if anything can be shipped or you can travel for business.
The donation worked. Thank you. I'll add your name to the Donatons tab if you wish. Let me know. And I'll ship out the t-shirt this week.
Thanks again,
Beth

She has a lot of side-effects. Can they do gamma knife, radiation, chemotherapy? You're a good mom. My mom would have traded places with me in a heartbeat. Instead she stayed with me at the hospital (2 weeks), offered to shave her head when I lost my hair, was a single mom who worked f/t etc. She has always been there and am so grateful.
I hope that and she can figure something out.

Hello Karen and 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 religious discussions, migraines, seizures, depression and anxiety, etc. It's Just Benign now has its own store. All proceeds help maintain this website. So if you shop online, shop through our "store" tab link. There are over 20 stores. Thanks again for joining. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
P.S. What radio station mentioned IJB? It's terrific, but I need to know who's marketing this site. Thanks.
