Brain tumours, and conventional treatments, including surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, routinely result in lifelong effects that significantly impact on quality of life. At Success, we believe that there is far too little resourcing available to help these young survivors recover from what effectively amounts to an acquired brain injury. 

Except for a few, severely neurologically disabled inpatients, there is currently no routine post care neuro-disability assessment or rehabilitation offered to  survivors of childhood brain tumours, despite the fact that almost all survive with at least one, but more likely several of the following complications:  

Seizures (epilepsy)

Learning & emotional difficulties

Visual and hearing impairments, including blindness and deafness

Hormonal disorders, affecting growth and fertility

Depression, anxiety and poor mental health

Movement disorders

Severe irremediable obesity and secondary diabetes

Chronic Fatigue

Hair Loss
