This study is looking at the needs of people who have had radiotherapy for a type of brain tumour called a glioma which is grade 3 or 4. This is called a high grade glioma or HGG.
Doctors know that following radiotherapy for high grade brain tumours, some people can have both physical and emotional problems. They can affect your quality of life. This is a study to find out how radiotherapy affects people with HGG and what extra care and support they need.
