World Brain Tumour Awareness Week

October 26 - November 2

This Brain Tumour Awareness Week, take the time to learn the symptoms of #BrainTumours.

According to the NHS, the symptoms of brain tumours may vary depending on the exact part of the brain affected, but common symptoms include:

  • headaches
  • seizures (fits)
  • persistently feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting) and drowsiness
  • mental or behavioural changes, such as memory problems or changes in personality
  • progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
  • vision or speech problems

Sometimes you may not have any symptoms to begin with, or they may develop very slowly over time.

If you’re suffering from a brain tumour, support is out there. Take a look on the community map to find organisations near you.
