If
you are in the Chicagoland area, you should know that the NorthShore University
HealthSystem is going to stage a terrific 2013 monthly brain tumor and
caregiver support group program (see program following this note). The program has been organized by Ms. LeAnn Gannon, LCSW. I’m particularly impressed with the breadth
of topics that the group will review – from Qigong to a clinical trial update
to a nutritional presentation.
As
a truth-in-advertising disclosure, I will be speaking at the January 2nd
meeting entitled “Coping with a brain tumor.” Here’s details on the entire
