Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.

- What information from surgery will guide any further cancer treatment?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the brain mri and ct reports with the actual images alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the neurosurgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Brain MRI and CT reports with the actual images
- Previous biopsy or tumour pathology
- Neurological assessments and seizure history
- Current medicines, previous brain treatments and the surgical recommendation
- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
