The meeting will be facilitated by Carol Most Walker, a watch and wait acoustic neuroma patient and
Tom Sattler, a post-treatment acoustic neuroma patient. Refreshments will be provided.
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.
