A diagnosis of a brain tumor is a big thing to deal with alone. Sometimes, talking to someone who has "been there" can help. These are suggestions from kids who have a brain tumor, and their brothers and sisters. They were sent to us by our friends at the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children.

	Live each day to the fullest.
	Keep fighting. Never, never give up!
	Bald is beautiful and trendy!
	Live, love and above all laugh!
	Keep a sense of humor.
	Don't ever give up!
	Pray.
	Keep thinking about tomorrow!
	Be nice to your parents, they only want to help.
	Tomorrow will be better.
	Look forward to your last day of chemo, it will come.
	Don't think of yourself as a victim.
	The less you complain the better you will feel.
	Life is short, don't miss out!
	Don't let cancer slow you down, you can do anything you want to do!
	Keep a positive attitude. It makes a big difference in the way you will feel.
	Remember it could always be worse!
	When you are afraid, pretend you are floating on a big puffy cloud.
