LiveStrong (Lance Armstrong's organization) is a fabulous organization for patients and families with cancer. Some of their resources involve a patient binder with stories about how people have handled loved ones being sick, pages of phone numbers for local support groups, and a mentoring system where you can be paired up with people who have gone through this before. They have webpages dedicated to support options as well. I would also suggest perhaps finding a psychologist - most cancer centers have support staff in them. Your husband's doctor would be able to provide you with referrals to the cancer center's support staff.

Try www.acor.org. They have online support groups for many types of cancer. You might also do a search for brain cancer and MS and see what you come up with.

Contact your local American Cancer Society as they may know of support groups in your are. Also the hospital, clinic, or oncologist probably can put you in contact with medical social workers who will also counsel you or be able to locate a support group.
