Nani,

In October I was diagnosed with Acoustic Neuroma. I can relate to the fear, anger, and alienation that you are going through. In early November a friend of mine sent me an e-mail about a meeting in Houston, Texas. It turned out that this meeting was a support group and they had brought in a specialist from MD Anderson to discuss treatment options and to answer questions. I decided to take a two hour road trip from Austin (where I live) to Houston and was pleasantly surprised to find out how therapeutic attending the group was. I am not sure if you have had any success in finding a AN support group; however I know that this one was helpful for me. It would be about a 3 1/2- 4 hour drive from Baton Rouge to Houston. If you are interested, here is contact information for the group:

Visit www.yahoo.com and search groups for
 
houstonanasupport

If you would like a direct contact for the group, write me back and I can give you more information.


Hang in there.

Best regards,
Robert Johnson

Hi, Robert and welcome to the Forum.

Nani hasn't logged on since December 8th, so you may want to PM or email her this information.

Just a thought,
