Hi,

There is quite a good booklet produced by Clatterbridge Cancer Centre discussing side effects of whole brain radiotherapy available at:

clatterbridgecc.nhs.uk/appl...

There is also some information on side effects available from Cancer Research UK regarding brain radiotherapy available at:

cancerresearchuk.org/about-...

I hope this information is helpful. If you would like to talk to one of the helpline nurses please don’t hesitate to contact us on 0800 358 7200(Option2). We are available Mon-Thursday 9.00am-5.00pm and Friday 9.00am-4.00pm.

Kind regards,

All the team at the Roy Castle Helpline
