3 in 5 people we spoke to felt fatigued due to their brain tumour diagnosis.

To help you, we've put together extensive information about fatigue, from what is it and its symptoms to its causes and how to cope with it, including tips from our community, people who truly understand what you're going through.

You may also find it useful to track how you're feeling by using our online app BRIAN. You can then share this with your loved ones and healthcare team to show them how best to support you.

Thank you Jane, really useful info. I'm currently undergoing 6 weeks radiotherapy for a 24mm AN after it grew 7mm in 18 months. At a recent mid treatment review I was told that my headaches were not associated with my diagnosis and there was no reason why I should be feeling so tired all the time as the AN, and associated area of treatment, is so small. Came away thinking I was a hyperchondriac . Since the review I've been pushing myself to do more but since reading your guidance I no longer feel under that pressure. Thank you
