41. What’s the Best Way to Help Someone With Brain Cancer? | A Patient Panel Discussion

Tatiana lives with a brain tumor that causes pain like the very worst migraine. Van Nessa had a sarcoma in her cheekbone and has had eight surgeries. Ben has an inoperable brainstem glioma that is kept in check with a new drug. Do you have someone in your life who is living with cancer? Tatiana, Van Nessa and Ben have some thoughts on how to help them. For Ben, the best thing was when a friend just left dinner on the porch and didn’t even ring the doorbell. Tatiana likes it when friends check in, if not with her, with her mother, who is “in it with her everyday.” Dr. Akanksha Sharma, a neuro-oncologist at Pacific Neuroscience Institute has helped hundreds of patients who live with brain cancer. She joins me in moderating this discussion on what helps and what doesn’t when someone is facing the toughest diagnoses.
