The neuro-oncology pages include links for children and young people who have been diagnosed with a brain tumour or a cancer involving the head/ neck or wider central nervous system.
These supports/advice are for those of all ages and at all stages of their cancer diagnosis and management (from the point of diagnosis processes to long-term follow-up once treatment is complete). Different cancer conditions can involve different treatments and have different implications/experiences depending on the age and type of cancer. Please be aware that everyone’s experience will be different and some information may not apply or be as relevant to your child at a particular stage.
You may also find other links contained in these pages helpful such as the links to “Brain Injury” which includes information about supporting emotional and cognitive challenges which may also be experienced by those diagnosed with a brain tumour.
