Event Topic:
Receiving a diagnosis of a brain tumour can be a challenging and overwhelming experience, and it is normal to have lots of questions. 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 facilitated by Prof Mei Krishnasamy (Professor of Cancer Nursing) you will meet brain cancer care coordinators from three Victorian hospitals who will do their best to answer YOUR questions, and will also share tips and responses to some of the most frequently asked questions they hear from patients and their families.
