Get help now
You do not have to figure this out alone. The people below are free to call, and they help patients and families every day.
If you might hurt yourself
Call or text 988 any time, day or night. It is the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The call is free and private.
If you would rather text, send the word HOME to 741741. A trained person from the Crisis Text Line will text back.
If someone is in danger right now, call 911.
If you want to talk about a brain tumor
The American Brain Tumor Association CareLine is free. The people who answer know brain tumors. They can explain terms, help you find support groups, and point you to resources near you.
Call the CareLine: 800-886-2282
The National Cancer Institute also answers questions about any cancer, in English and Spanish (1-800-4-CANCER).
If you are caring for someone
Caregivers need support too. CancerCare has social workers who talk with caregivers for free.
