BTUK is a self-help news and discussion group for patients, carers and others affected by a brain tumour. It is operated solely by Brain Tumour Action, (Scottish Charity No SC 021490) and has been running since April 2002.

Please note that all subscribers to the group should respect each others' circumstances. Everyone should feel free to contribute without fear of censure or criticism. Please do not 'pre-judge' without knowing the full facts. We are all here to support each other in this difficult, distressing situation.

No more than 5 messages should be posted by one person per day. All messages that do not contain brain tumour related content must have the words "OFF TOPIC" in the subject line of each message. Thank you in advance for your co-operation.
