Things We Wish We’d Known

We are hoping that this information will help you with some of the issues that may arise after a diagnosis of a low-grade glioma. . As we are a UK based charity, some of this will not be relevant to those in other countries but it may give ideas to explore. The aim is to make this ‘journey’ less of an obstacle course!  Please do not think that, because these issues have been highlighted, that they will happen; it is just that if they do happen it is infuriating to find out afterwards that things could have been easier!
