Let's Talk About Brain Tumours
Episode 65 part one - The cost of a brain tumour diagnosis
The Brain Tumour Charity has released its report into the staggering cost of a brain tumour diagnosis to the UK economy. The report makes the economic case for a National Brain Tumour Strategy to minimise these costs - both to the individual and to society.
In part one of this episode, Anna unpicks some of the report's findings with Kimberley, who's living with a brain tumour diagnosis and Rhiannon, who's caring for her son following his ill-health. They discuss the impact on their own finances.
In part two, Chandos interviews Marcus - Head of Policy and Campaigns at The Charity - to dig deeper into the report's finding's.
To find out more, you can download a copy of the report on the charity's website.
