Any advice on being able to drive

[JC59]

Hi there, my sister has had surgery and treatment and is very keen to start driving again, this means so much to her, does anyone have any info on this?

Hi JC59,Has your sister spoken to her oncologist about this, if not, I would advise her to do so. It was an instant 3 year stop on driving for me as I had a grade 4 glio. If your sister has a lower grade glio, it might be different, but her oncologist, should be the first port of call or you could use the Brain Tumour Charity website to seek further guidance.

I was diagnosed with glioblastoma grade 4 in 2015 and have been unable to drive since my treatment 2 surgeries, temozolomide chemo, radiotherapy, gliadel carnistine chem wafers, lomustine chemotherapy has meant I have been unable to drive ever since. I’ve even been banned from driving a mobility scooter as I have a condition called hemi spatial neglect where one part of my brain doesn’t connect to the other. I’d be a danger to myself and others apparently I id try one before Theban and it was very scary you could hear me coming as I called out “help! “Help!”When you’ve had any treatment carried out on your brain there are usually significant side effectsThe thing to do is check it out with the oncology ten
