Is this true? Can you have a brain tumour for 6 years and still be able to drive?

I have a friend who isn't always truthful and has made up lies before. 6 years ago she told me she has a brain tumour and it would not be able to be treated. Is it true she can still drive if she does have this? 

I have been honest and told her the things she says doesn't add up. She apparently goes for treatment on her own she drives herself etc. 

I just don't like the thought she is lying as I lost my sister to cancer last year

  • Hello sausagegrill24 and thank you for posting.

    I was sorry to learn that you lost your sister last year to cancer, this must be very difficult for you and your family.

    I am also sorry that you feel your friend may not be being truthful, especially after losing your sister.

    We cannot comment on your friend's situation, as we are not involved in her care. There are many different types of brain tumours, that all behave and are treated differently.

    You can read our information about brain tumours and how they are treated on our website.

    I hope the above link helps a little,

    Take care,
