| | Brain Tumour |
 | | Secondary brain tumours are cancers originating elsewhere in the body and spreading to the brain through the blood stream. | | | Children who have had radiation therapy for brain tumours may have learning difficulties and visual problems. | | | There are various support groups that are working in the area of rehabilitation of cancer patients and they may provide the much needed support. |

| | To raise public awareness of the need for brain tumour research and the lack of funding that currently exists by a series of fundraising events and applications for research grants among corporate and medical bodies or trusts | | | there is a great need for a better understanding of what causes them, how the brain reacts to them and how they behave - and an even greater need for better and more effective treatments.... |

| | Adults caring for adults can do their utmost to seek to understand and support what the brain tumour patient wants to do; the position of the adult caring for a child with a brain tumour is far more difficult. | | | There is a blood-brain barrier (see for example http://galileo.physiology.uiowa.edu/animations/bloodgif.htm or http://www.sfn.org/briefings/blood-brain.html) which means that the world inside the brain is different and transfer of materials between the brain and the rest of the body is limited. | | | Low grade tumours and oligodendrogliomas have a record of response to such drugs better than in GBMIV, where the time gained, if any, may be so short as not to be worthwhile, especially where the drug has a record of diminishing quality of life. |
