The BRAINTMR list is a forum to discuss topics related to all types of brain
tumors whether benign or malignant. It is my hope that information and
experiences will be shared among brain tumor patients, their supporters,
all kinds of medical professionals, and researchers who study brain tumor
growth/treatment.
To increase communication and networking in this medium it would be beneficial
to include WHERE YOU WORK, YOUR POSITION OR SPECIALTY if you are a medical
professional or researcher, TUMOR TYPE if you are a patient. (It would be
a good idea to include this with each post since new people will be
joining the list all the time and may not know you yet.)
===============================================================================
PLEASE HELP ADVERTISE THIS LIST! Feel Free to forward this message.

Right now the list will not send you a copy of anything you post, it
assumes you will have already made your own copy. To AUTOMATICALLY
RECEIVE COPIES of your posts you must first send the following message to:
LISTSERV at MITVMA.MIT.EDU (the text of the message should read:

==============================================================================
The list is set up to send you a confirmation that your post has been
successfully distributed to BRAINTMR. At the moment the confirmation reads:
"Statistics for BRAINTMR mailing (Brain Tumor Research/Support):
-> Only local users and domain-style recipients on the list."
This is not what it's supposed to say and we're working to correct it. If
you do not want a confirmation, change the settings as indicated in the
message you received from the listerver stating your subscription was accepted.
===============================================================================
If you would like to be included in a database of subscribers please send

information you are comfortable with including: NAME, HOME/WORK ADDRESS(ES),
HOME/WORK PHONE(S), POSITION, SPECIALTY OR BRAIN TUMOR INTEREST, BRAIN
TUMOR TYPE (if applicable) SYMPTOMS leading to diagnosis & TREATMENT (if
applicable)
**If you are a patient please indicate if you would like CONTACT WITH
OTHERS WHO HAVE YOUR TUMOR TYPE.

If you have problems, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Also, if you feel this letter of introduction could be improved in any
way I'd be happy to hear from you.
