Episode 61 - The Power of Friendship
Episode 61
Wednesday, 19 February, 2025
Our focus in this episode is on friendships and close bonds. How does a brain tumour diagnosis affect our loved ones and who can we turn to for support or advice when we don’t want to worry or upset those closest to us? To answer that question, Andy Tudor talks to five women who were all treated at the same hospital for the same meningioma diagnosis but who only met through one of The Brain Tumour Charity’s online peer support groups. They describe that group as "invaluable", "a lifeline" and as "each other's aftercare." What's more, four of them have teamed up to take on The Twilight Walk together on 22 March - roping in some of their relatives too! Their efforts will mean The Charity can continue to fund things like our support services as well as much needed research into brain tumours. This is the Brighton Brain Aches fundraising page.We'd also like to the thank the Puzzle Bored Cafe in Brighton for allowing us to record this episode in their Quiet Room.
