Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to read that you're starting to get side effects from your radiotherapy treatment but glad that you've reached out to tis community to give and receive support.
As the community is divided up into groups, I'm going to recommend some for you to join, where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others who will understand exactly what you're going through. You haven't said what type of brain tumour you have so I'll list the various groups that might be applicable to you for you to choose:
Glioblastoma multiforme brain tumours group
To join any of these groups just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' 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 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 'Edit 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.
