New brain tumour support group for South East and Central Leinster to meet in Carlow

Brain Tumour Ireland has established a new support group for the South East and Central Leinster.

Founded in 2012, Brain Tumour Ireland is a national registered charity working to inform and support brain tumour patients and their families. Brain Tumour Ireland also fundraises for brain tumour research.

The Chair of Brain Tumour Ireland, and one of its founding members, Kilkenny based Natasha Smith said:

“We are delighted to be expanding our support services into the South East and Central Leinster.  The meeting will be open to anyone with a brain tumour and their families and carers.

“Although every brain tumour is different, we find that patients and their families really benefit from peer support and from sharing their experiences with someone who understands what they are going through.

“It is important to note that this group is for people with both malignant and benign tumours.

The group will meet on the first Tuesday of every second month from 7pm – 9pm.  The first meeting will take place on Tuesday, 2nd April at 7pm in the Eist Cancer Support Centre, The Waterfront, Mill Lane, Carlow.

For more information on the upcoming meeting, email info@braintumourireland.com or call Eist Cancer Support on 059 9139684.
