(update 2/3/97: I haven't been able to work on these pages in a long time. If I had a computer that worked consistently, a grant, and an office manager things might be different. BRAINTMR has grown substantially since these pages were written in 1995. There are now well over 1000 subscribers, and the # of messages per day ranges from 50-110. Daily list maintenance (including management of 2-4 thousand error messages per day), speaking at conferences, plus moving house and FINALLY getting some rehab for myself 6 years post brain surgery had and have taken precedence over web page development. Thanks for your understanding and support! -Samantha --contact me via: samajane@ai.mit.edu or phone the BRAINTMR HOTLINE: 617-623-0066 (voice is the best way to reach me)

The BRAINTMR list is a forum to discuss topics related to all types of brain tumors whether benign or malignant. Information and experience is shared among brain tumor patients, their families & supporters, all kinds of concerned medical professionals**, medical educators, and researchers who study brain tumor growth or treatment. BRAINTMR is open to all and is moderated by the listowner, not edited.

(**including: neurosurgeons, nurses, social workers, primary care physicians, pathologists, oncologists, psychologists, rehabilitation therapists etc.)

Here are just a few examples of how BRAINTMR is used:

For patients and families dealing with the same tumor type to "meet"
To find out WHO is doing WHAT brain tumor research
To address emotional aspects of patients' brain tumor treatment
To discuss the impact of brain tumors on individuals, society and the practice of medicine
To discuss other intracranial malformations (such as the AVM)

BRAINTMR was initiated in October 1992 by Samantha J. Scolamiero, a brain tumor survivor. It came on-line May 15, 1993. It is expanding fast. As of June 1, 1995 there are over 525 active subscriptions from six continents on the list. These include several redistribution lists and individual subscriptions for entire research organizations and Brain Tumor foundations. There are on average 10-30 messages per day.
Many people generously offer their expertise and experiences to provide information and support. Hopefully we will find lots more people out there willing to talk about brain tumors to expand our discussions.
