Summary:
“(…)is a practical, evidence-based guide to complementary cancer therapies, which are becoming popular alongside orthodox treatments as part of the ‘integrative’ approach to care.

Childhood Brain Tumour Signs & Symptoms
Earlier this year, you gave us your feedback in a survey on brain tumour signs and symptoms. One of the things we did with that survey was to compile a list of the most common signs & symptoms for children. Now, as part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we are sharing compelling quotes from that survey and urging you to share them with this link to see the symptoms: www.braintumour.ca/symptoms. Thank you!
