Hello Nikita and welcome. 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 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. Thanks again for joining. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concern

- Hi Nikita! I read what you are hoping to gain from this site and I want you to know that you can make it through this, moment by moment, and still maintain some sanity. I know you must be scared and overwhelmed. I am almost four-years post-op and it does get better, I promise. You are stronger than you can even imagine and the body is built to heal. Please message me if you have any questions or you just need to vent. You are not alone, I promise! Amanda
