Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust provides information, help and support to people living with brain tumours, their families, friends and carers.
Most people feel overwhelmed when they or a loved one are told that they have a brain tumour. Intense feelings, including loss of control, fear, anger, guilt, depression, anxiety and loneliness are part of the process that many people go through in dealing with their, or a loved one’s, illness. After the diagnosis is made you might be very keen to find out as much as possible about the tumour and the urge to get the information quickly can be overwhelming. Talking through your situation can help you identify the questions you want answering and where to get the answers you need. You can get more in-depth information about tumour types and treatments as well as sources of support from our helpline. Finding out more about this illness can help you to feel more in control of your situation.
We also provide help and support with the emotional effects of a diagnosis of brain tumour and how to deal with them. For some people, discussing their worries and fears with the people closest to them can be difficult. Our confidential support and information helpline provides support and a listening ear from people who understand your situation. Adjusting to living with this diagnosis and facing some of the emotions that you have is not easy. We offer help and support through this difficult journey.
We are here to help so please call Roz Osborne or Jenny Gumbrell on 0845 130 9733 or email patientinfo@sdbtt.co.uk for further information.
