Living With a Brain Tumor

Patients living with brain tumors face a unique set of challenges that go beyond the treatment of the tumor, as do their families. We offer a support team that assesses and treats various problems, including:

• Changes in memory, speech, personality or emotions
• Difficulties like re-entering the job force and school issues
• Disability and health insurance
• Psychological distress

Evaluation & Counseling Services

Our neuropsychologists provide help by:

• Evaluating for behavioral changes caused by brain tumor growth and treatment
• Counseling patients and families as they learn to cope with these developments

How an Evaluation Works

We may conduct an evaluation at the beginning of your treatment so that we can compare later cognitive or behavioral changes to your initial results.

During the evaluation, we may ask you to perform a number of tasks that test problem-solving ability, attention, memory, language and motor skills. Our neuropsychologists can also help you learn to compensate for your disabilities by developing “workaround” strategies.

Counseling Services

Neuropsychologists also offer counseling for patients and families as they cope with the social changes associated with brain tumors, including:

• Role changes within the family
• Changes in the level of patient independence
