However, because the condition affects each person differently, it is important that you speak to your own GP or to the doctor or nurse who is looking after you since they are in a position to offer advice and information to meet your own specific needs. Having a brain tumour may raise many complicated issues to discuss with your healthcare specialists. They are there to help you so do not be afraid to ask the same question more than once.
