Learn more about possible signs and symptoms of a brain tumour and what to do if you are concerned.
A brain tumour diagnosis can feel overwhelming, whether you are worried about symptoms, living with a diagnosis yourself, or supporting someone you care about.
Brain Tumour Support provides free, specialist support for anyone affected by a brain tumour. We support patients, family members, carers and loved ones from diagnosis onwards, for as long as support is needed.
Our services include one-to-one and group support, online and telephone support, and specialist counselling to help people navigate the emotional and practical challenges a brain tumour diagnosis can bring.
Explore support optionsEveryone’s experience with a brain tumour is different. Whether you are worried about symptoms, living with a diagnosis, or supporting someone you care about, we can help you find the information and support you need.
Learn more about possible signs and symptoms of a brain tumour and what to do if you are concerned.
Find information, guidance and support for people living with a brain tumour, including help for family, friends and caregivers.
If someone you care about has a brain tumour, we can help you understand the challenges they may face and the support available to you both.
A brain tumour diagnosis can affect far more than treatment and appointments. Many people tell us the emotional, practical and long-term impact is often unseen by others.
The hidden impact can touch every part of life — from diagnosis and uncertainty, to supporting someone you love, or navigating life after loss. These experiences are real, valid, and more common than many people realise.
If you recognise your own experience, or want to better understand what support can look like at every stage, you are not alone.
