Brain Tumour Support NZ

WHY ARE WE HERE? Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in people under 40. But this fact doesn’t help you when you hear the words “you have a brain tumour”. A brain tumour diagnosis may bring with it the double impact of a cancer diagnosis and a progressively debilitating neurological disease. The treatment can be complex and often comes with side effects. A brain tumour may have been classified as benign or non-malignant. But we know that, for the many people living with a ‘benign’ tumour, this is far from the case. All brain tumours are life-changing. Diagnosis brings with it fear, isolation, disempowerment and a loss of control. This is where we help. WHAT WE DO Brain Tumour Support NZ is here to help you live life with a brain tumour. We know that when you hear the words “you have a brain tumour”, you need support from people who not only understand the fear, confusion and isolation, but who can empower and resource you to overcome it. Our support is available to everybody affected by any type of brain tumour and their family and whānau. We offer you SUPPORT and INFORMATION and the opportunity to become part of our COMMUNITY If you can’t find what you need on our website please contact us so we can try and help you or put you in contact with someone who can.
