#MayoClinicNeuroChat about Brain Tumors

Will this discussion be in a closed group on FB? My diagnosis is private. Only very few know. Thanks!

No, it will be broadcast on the Mayo Clinic Facebook page, however, you can watch here on Connect. I will not read the names or usernames of people with questions, but simply say "a Connect member" or "a viewer on Facebook."

Thank you!

I'll be at work, so will this be available to view some place else? If so, where? I'm a 25 year brain tumor survivor, but I'm still very interested in learning as much as I can about tumors and the new treatment options.

@lynda1992, the video will be archived right here on this page immediately after the live broadcast. You can find all archived Video Q&A events here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/webinars/

For those of us who cannot participate "live," is it possible to submit a question? One of my relatives is a four year survivor of glioblastoma multiforme, doing well. However, their sleep schedule is off (maybe it's that Non 24 syndrome?) and it dramatically effects the caregiving spouse's sleep and energy level, too. Their neurologist has not approved trying Light Therapy or Melatonin. I was wondering if this is common to GBM, or if the Mayo physicians feel it is peculiar to THIS case (and/or may relate to the area of her tumor/surgery). If there is any research or experience they've had, I would be grateful. If you feel this is more appropriate for a topic on the brain tumor site, I will post it there.

Thank you, @taterjoy. I will be happy to ask this question during the broadcast.

Thank you, Audrey!

I would like to know more about the NF1 & TP53. These were found recently in my daughters pathology of her brain tumor. She has a Pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma tumor. A surgery February 10th and now another surgery scheduled because the tumor has aggressively grown back and in 2 months tripled its size. Thank you!

Hey I'm not all that technically savvy. I just registered but how do I connect to the chat ?
