Are there any tips or advice that you would pass on to someone going through the brain tumour rehabilitation/recovery process, once surgery/treatment has been completed?

Hi Zhaleh, These tips maybe some what late in the day for a lot of people but I’ll share anyway. My hospital gave me and sent me me home with Codeine as a pain killer which is notorious for causing constipation. I was also given Movicol as a laxative which wasn’t very strong. I learned this from Op1 and so pre. Op2&3 I agreed with my medical support team my preferred medication. They understood and supported my request and it made such a positive difference to the first couple of months of rehab. A bizarre top tip but hopefully one that can provide a more comfortable rehab period for everyone !!
