Brain Tumor

What is Brain Tumor?

A brain tumor can form in the brain cells (as shown), or it can begin elsewhere and spread to the brain. As the tumor grows, it creates pressure on and changes the function of surrounding brain tissue, which causes signs and symptoms such as headaches, nausea and balance problems.

How is Brain Tumor treatment done?

Personal preparations for brain surgery

Setting up travel arrangements to and from surgery and for post-surgery appointments. Packing belongings for your hospital stay, such as medications, glasses, and clothing. Preparing and freezing healthy meals for when you go home.

You have a pre assessment appointment 1 or 2 weeks before your brain tumour surgery. You have tests to check your fitness and you meet members of your treatment team. You usually go into hospital the day before, or on the morning of your operation.

You might need to have steroids after surgery, either as tablets or injections. Steroids can reduce swelling and pressure around the brain. This can help to reduce symptoms. It is also common to take medicine to prevent seizures (fits).
