My collaboration with the neuro department at Lenox Hill in NYC has benefited our BTC community with many educational resources from top neurosurgeons. Check out our zoom sessions with Dr. David Langer and Dr. John Boockvar, the stars of the Netflix series Lenox Hill. If you have not watched it check it out!
As mentioned in last month's newsletter, Dr. Boockvar and his team offer virtual 2nd opinion visits that are covered by insurance and can be used to help educate you on the next best steps. Should you choose to utilize this resource please share with them that Angel from Brain Tumor/ Meningioma Companion referred you and hopefully they will connect with you within a week's time. Please alert me if you struggle to get their attention for any reason, and I will give them a nudge!

I'm excited to announce that we have our 3rd LENOX HILL EDUCATIONAL ZOOM SESSION coming up. Next month, we will connect with Dr. Ben-Shalom, from the department of neuroplastic surgery. He is ready to share with our BTCompanions his insurance-covered, re-reconstructive surgery options, to help some of us get back our comfort and confidence from our post-surgical deficits. If you would like to join in on this zoom opportunity please let me know. You qualify to participate if you have attended at least two Brain Tumor Zoom Support Groups and you are available on Friday, September 9th at 7:30am (PDT) for two hours.
