About
Our aim is to present common scenarios of brain tumours and their surgical and oncological management in lay terms, so the information we provide is easy to understand by anybody.
The last section of this site aims to function as a platform where patients who went through this pathway have the opportunity to express how they experienced their diagnosis, operation, recovery, and oncological treatment. They can also post their charity activities, or talk about their coping strategies. The material posted in this section is owned by the patients. Our patients can remove it or update the content any time.
