New Location! This group meets the third Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM. We have a meeting space at HEB Hospital in Bedford. The easiest way to get to HEB from either direction is: Exit on Central Drive then take the access road EAST to HEB Hospital. Pass the fitness center on the right and go to the entrance at the bottom of the hill. Turn into the entrance road and park as close to the first building as possible. This is the Edward's Cancer Center. The entrance is in the middle of the first building. Go thru the revolving door and our room

HDSA National is having their Annual Convention for 2008 at the Omni William Penn Hotel in Pittsburgh, PA.

I've always found it to be a wonderful experience to attend the conference.  You get to meet other family members who also want to talk to you about HD and to share experiences and knowledge.

You can also meet our researchers in person and share your hopes with them and your appreciation for their efforts.

I hope to see you there!

Tough Enough to Over Stuff in Austin

Our December meeting included a nice collection of food including smoked turkey, dressing, various casseroles and even a healthy dose of brussel sprouts. I don't believe anyone went home hungry and most took home enough food for an extra meal.

I wanted to thank everyone for their help in making it a success. We even had a chance to meet a new Austin area HD family.

Thanks again.

Support Groups

It often seems that you're alone with this disease, either as someone that tested positive or as a caregiver. But if you make just a little effort you will be amazed at the amount of support that is available to you.

Once you start working with a support group you will begin to realize that you don't need to deal with this disease alone and that can be a major source of stress relief.
