At Occupational Therapy Brisbane you can access brain tumor neuro-rehabilitation to help with your symptoms.
For many people, maybe like you, impacted by a brain tumour it can be a frightening and disabling neurological condition.
In Australia over 1500 people are affected by primary brain tumors each year. This number greatly increases when you include secondary metastases.
There are more than 40 major types of brain tumours, which are grouped into two main types:
benign – slow – growing and unlikely to spread.
Common types are meningiomas, neuromas, pituitary tumours and craniopharyngiomas.
malignant
cancerous and able to spread into other parts of the brain or spinal cord. Common types include astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, ependymomas, glioblastomas and mixed gliomas.
These central nervous system tumors can present and express themselves differently in each person.
What one person experiences may be different to the other. A tumour may form in differing areas, emerge from different cell types and may require different treatment options and regimes.
It’s clear that a person’s experience will greatly differ form someone else.
