Richmond, VA????
« on: July 25, 2007, 11:28:41 pm »
Anyone out there?  I'd love to 'talk shop' w any locals.  Attended a Brain Tumor Support Group, but it was mainly folk w cancerous tumors and lower functioning than I.  If you are here in VA, and would like to talk/vent... I can start my own support group!  Get back to me!  Thanks!  Lori

There are a few of us Virginians here on this site.  I tried to get a coffee meet together but it fell through.  If you're up to trying again, I'd be up for a drive to Richmond or somewhere inbetween  :) ...  I'm over more toward the VA Beach area.

I live in Northern Virginia. About 20 minutes outside Washington DC. I had an AN remove July 2004 and a BAHA implant in January 2007.  Is the area I live a close enough location for you?
