The meeting will be facilitated by Ellen Nuebel, a post-treatment acoustic neuroma patient.

Who should attend? Family members, caregivers, friends and interested persons are encouraged to attend.

Benefits of attending a local support group include communicating in a nurturing, non-judgmental
environment with others who have shared a common acoustic neuroma experience; sharing information on
dealing with specific problems, overcoming handicaps and reassuring others that better times lie ahead;
educating and informing each other about the latest acoustic neuroma topics of interest; and providing
emotional support to all patients, both pre- and post-treatment. This helps in reducing the isolation and
loneliness that many acoustic neuroma patients feel.
