Drivers license

I finished my treatment for a stage 2 astracytoma brain tumour in January after having radiotherapy at the ended in may 2023. I chose to voluntarily surrender my licence and assumed I would be able to get it back in may as the radio therapy was my primary treatment.  Now my doctor is saying the chemotherapy was the primary treatment so I won't be able to apply for my licence until a full year has passed following the end of my chemotherapy Which ended in January 2024.  Can somebody help me and tell me if this is correct as I've spoken to other people who have had similar treatments and they have been able to drive a lot sooner

  • Hi Stevej and welcome to the community.

    I hope this information we have about driving and brain tumours will help answer your question but if you'd like to discuss this further with one of our cancer nurses, they are available on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    Hopefully you will hear back from some of our members soon, but for further information and advice, it may be worth getting in touch with The Brain Tumour Charity (if you haven't done so already).

    I hope this helps and you're able to get this sorted out soon.

    Kind regards,
