Why Musella exists

The Musella Foundation provides support and advocacy for brain tumor patients. It is for patients and families navigating a brain tumor diagnosis who want an organization focused on their specific disease and an advocate working on their behalf. Disease-specific support matters because brain tumors raise questions that general cancer resources may not cover in the depth patients need.
