As
I read brain tumor blogs and victim support sites, I constantly see cries for
information, i.e.
- What is a ‘benign brain tumor?
- What is a “Grade I brain tumor and how is that different from a Grade II or III or IV?
- What are typical brain tumor symptoms?
Much
of the content on these personal blogs and websites are pretty good. Some isn’t.
Big hospitals often have their own sites and they’re often quite good.
I’d
like to suggest, though, that you visit the National Cancer Institute’s website
for information about brain cancer: http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/treatment/adultbrain/Patient/page1#Keypoint15
It
has a “patient” version and a “Health Professional” version. I like that they’ve
got a version that I, as a victim, can read and understand.
So,
the next time you talk to a victim, consider steering them here for starters.
