This resource is designed to assist patients diagnosed with brain cancer to keep track of appointments, medications and important questions to ask.
When first diagnosed with a brain tumour, there are a few things that you should consider, in addition to your treatment plan. You do not need to have all the answers straight away and our diagnosis chapter covers a few of the topics to consider.
The treatment of Brain Cancer involves a team of specialists since it is a complex cancer. Patients are usually referred to their local "Neuro-Oncology Multi-Disciplinary Team (MTD)" where they may receive assistance from experts such as neurosurgeons, neuropathologists, and radiation oncologists.
Having Brain Cancer changes your life experience completely. It's important to prioritise self-care more than ever before. This is because you not only have to deal with a significant health issue but also with worries and concerns that you may not have encountered before.
Throughout the diary you will find helpful resources from the various resources and organisations that consulted in the Survivorship Diary development. We have compiled a list of resources for patients to help you easily access the support and assistance you require.
