Event Topic:

Receiving a diagnosis of a brain tumour can be a challenging and overwhelming experience. Cancer Care Coordinators are there to help support you and can often answer your questions or suggest where to go to for more specific support. No question is too small or silly. In this session you will meet brain cancer care coordinators from three Victorian hospitals who will share the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions they receive from newly diagnosed patients. 

You are also encouraged to submit your own questions for the speakers, and they will do their best to answer them during the session. Please submit your questions prior to the event by including them in the registration form when you sign up for the webinar, or by emailing the organisers at BT-Online@unimelb.edu.au
