Brain Tumor PATIENTS Registry

This list is open to anyone who has a brain tumor or a loved one with a brain tumor. To add a name to the list, please email Nancy: Nancy@NancyPlanet.com If you wonder, why I have begun this list with location and type job, I am curious about clusters of brain tumors in certain locations or certain types of work. It has already been pointed out to me there seems to be a higher rate in farming communities possibly due to chemicals/pesticides. I fully realize that with people moving frequently and often changing jobs, this does not present the full picture.
