is there any magical way she will survive? ahe waa super health and she could walk make food and all the stuff suddenly she was diagnosed with cancer and later on advance to her brain she is 80 years old , 

  • Hello Mike, 

    I'm sorry to hear about your Grandmother's diagnosis. It's understandably a difficult time for you all at the moment. 

    Research so far shows that it is unlikely mobile phones and wi-fi could increase the risk of brain tumours or other types of cancer. You can read more about the subject in our blog here. 

    You obviously love your Grandmother very much and it's natural to hope for some magical cure when someone we love is given this kind of news. I hope that you're able to come to a point where you can visit her to spend some time together. If you think it might help you then you could call our team of nurses to talk things through. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Best wishes,

    Hello mikemore1, 

    As Jenn said, you obviously love your grandmother very much which is lovely to see. Unfortunately we can't really advise you on any specific treatments that would be suitable for your gran. This is because her medical team will be best aware of all the details of her situation so have faith in her specialists I am sure they will be looking after her as best they can. Try and spend quality time with your gran and to cherish the very special bond that you have. 

    Best wishes,
