Clinical trials for brain tumours ?

My mother in law started with cancer of the breast around 4 years ago, unfortunately it spread to her brain. After chemo, radio and surgery the tumours have spread all over her head and the doctor says no more treatment can be offered although he has a clinical trial he wants to put her forward for... I was just wondering if anyone knows about these , have experienced them or knows someone who gave them a go as we as a family are rather confused. 

Thank you in advance 

  • Hello Carly, 

    I'm sorry to hear the news about your Mother in law. I'm sure it's a difficult and confusing time for you all. 

    We do have some information about clinical trials on our website, although I'm not sure if the specific trial you are interested in is listed. You can find out more here

    We also have a team of nurses available if you would like to talk to someone. They may be able to help with some of your concerns and questions. They are available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040 (free to call from a UK landline). 

    Sending you our best wishes,
