neuroma patients and find encouragement and support.

DATE/TIME:

10:00am - Noon

Boardroom
The Lab School of Washington
4759 Reservoir Road, NW
Washington, DC 20007

TOPIC:
Caring, Sharing and Networking


FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR TO RSVP,
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP LEADERS/FACILITATORS:

The meeting will be facilitated by Allison Shaffer, a post-treatment acoustic neuroma patient.

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.
