  • Hello caljosh

    I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. It's understandable that you want to do everything you can to help with the side effects of treatment. 

    We do have some information on our website about brain tumours that may be helpful but I'd suggest also having a look at the website for The Brain Tumour Charity. We don't have many members with this diagnosis but they are a specialised organisation and I'm sure that you will be able to connect with others who have experience with this diagnosis and treatment via their forum. They also have a number of ways that they can offer support

    If you'd like to speak with one of our nurses you're most welcome to call them. I'm sure they will offer any advice, information, and support that they can to help. they're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    Sending my best wishes for your upcoming treatment.
