Get information: There are many types of brain tumor, some malignant, some benign. The first thing is to get information and get opinions from specialists. There are many tumors that are very treatable and even curable. There are others where there is very long term remission. The key to to be informed and ask questions. Know your options. Don't forget about clinical trials.

Treatment, support: The most important thing is proper diagnosis and treatment. Your treating physicians can refer you to a psychiatrist, psychologist, or other mental health professional for supportive care for the emotional issues tied to the diagnosis. There are also many patient support groups they can tell you about, some right in new york. Good luck.
