Hello CharlotteLK
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been diagnosed with glioma. It's obviously an incredibly difficult time and understandable that you're struggling to process this news. I hope that you have a good support network of family and friends around you.
I'm not sure that we have any members here living with a glioma but I wanted to signpost you to The Brain Tumour Charity where I know you'll be able to connect with others who have the same diagnosis and may be in similar circumstances to you. They have a number of different support options which can read more about here.
You're most welcome to give our team of nurses a call if you'd like to talk things through with someone. I know that they will be happy to listen and do their best to give you some information and support. They're available Monday to Friday from 9 am to 5 pm on 0808 800 4040.
I hope this helps. Keep in touch Charlotte and let us know how you're getting on.
Best wishes,

Hi Jenn
Thank you so much for getting in touch with support options.
It was still really fresh news and I was desperate for some words of hope or encouragement.
Everyone's journey is different, I just need to take it one step at a time.
Again, thank you so much.
Best wishes
Charlotte
