We help people battling a brain tumour to get back on top of things following diagnosis. We help people diagnosed with a brain tumour. We aim to give everyone diagnosed access to the resources that will put them back in control. We enable brain tumour patients and carers to become resilient and to utilise brain tumour support resources from all providers to their full potential. As it is, there are over 55000 people living with a brain tumour in the UK yet brain cancer is an unrecognised clinical problem. It is one of the most lethal human diseases; only 32% of people diagnosed with brain cancer will be alive at the end of the first year following diagnosis. At five years this drops to 14%. Brain cancer is also the most prevalent form of solid tumour in children and the most common cause of cancer death in them.
