A brain tumor diagnosis can be overwhelming for all parties involved. Normal routines, expectations, and hopes for the future are often put on hold. As you face difficult treatment decisions or learn to cope with frightening symptoms, you may feel as if you are just getting by on a day-to-day basis. The grieving process often begins at the time of diagnosis.
RIBSTF support groups are a great way for patients and/or their loved ones to connect with others in a similar situation. To attend our monthly support groups please see our schedule on our home page or call (401) 272-4177 or email lisa@ribstf.org for more information. One on one support is also available by calling the number above.
