Title: Local Support groups
Post by: odirish on June 07, 2005, 06:52:15 pm

I live in the Hershey/Harrisburg Pa. area, do you know of any local support groups? I don't know that I have much to offer, but I'd like to go.

Contact the ANA National  office in Cummings, Georgia.   They'll be able to put you in contact with the support group nearest you. 


Best to you

Hi
  Also was wondering in case there is a local support group unknown or unaffiliated with the ANA, you might contact your nearest large hospital or State's teaching hospital. It 'may' not have to be a group affiliated with ANs, but that would be nice. There are some good 'brain tumor' groups. ANs comprise but 6% of brain tumors but have their peculiar issues.
  Best wishes in this!!
