My mum has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumour and is due to start radiotherapy on the 20th August for 6 weeks, 5 times a week. Is there anything she’s going to need before starting/anything that would be nice/helpful that I wouldn’t typically think of?

Any suggestions are gratefully received 

  • Hi

    I'm sorry to hear that your mum has been diagnosed with a brain tumour but it's great that you're looking for ways to help her through her radiotherapy.

    I hope you don't mind me suggesting that you join and also post this question in the group (link) as the people there will be able to tell you what they found helpful.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting '+New' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute, it would be really useful if you could pop something about your mum's journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
