EP 17. Common Medications used in Brain Tumour Patients
There are several medications used in brain tumour patients, that are not chemotherapy, but are very important in controlling symptoms associated with having a brain tumour and dealing with the side effects of treatment. It is important to understand these medications, which include corticosteroids like dexamethasone, anti-seizure medications, analgesics and anti-emetics.

Ep 16 - Recovering from a Brain Tumour Operation
Facing a Brain Tumour Operation is daunting. Most of the time, this is the first time that someone has undergone this surgery, so the prospect of having a surgeon open up their cskull and delve into their brain is frightening, which is to be expected. Having some knowledge of what to expect in the immediate aftermath of a procedure can help. In this episode, I discuss the typical timelines for recovery after a brain tumour operation.
This is a source of information and education for those going through the experience of a brain tumour - whether you are a patient, a partner, family member or friend. It is also a good introduction for anyone wishing to find out more about Brain Tumours.
