An enhanced brain tumor

My sister who is 37 years old, diagnosis with enhanced brain thumor since April 2014.

She is under treatment at the moment and doctors say there is nothing new for her and the last chance is to be treated with Carbonplatinum.

Earlier these days she is suffering with head swelling. She's been to A&E but they just reduced dose of steroid and they say steroid caused brain swell!

 Does anyone had experience with brain thumor or can guide me with that?

  • Hello arnh.nh,

    I thought I would come and bump your post so that others who have experience of brain tumours can find it straight away. We're sorry to hear your sister is currently suffering from head swelling and I do hope others will be along shortly to share their experience with you.

    You can also give our lovely expert nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. It's a free number if you are UK based and they may be able to give you some guidance on this. 

    Best wishes,
