Community
OurBrainBank is a community of people affected by GBM supporting each other through live video chats, our Facebook page, our Facebook Group, or on Twitter and Instagram. We exchange ideas, talk about symptoms and treatments, and give — and get — support. Our YouTube channel has helpful “how to” videos. We’re growing all the time, please join us.

People living with GBM work closely with us, keeping us patient-centered. To respect privacy, names are not listed, but if you’re interested in joining, please write us.
