treakle and driving

treakle my onc thought i might be able to drive as the last 2 brain scans have been clear i had 1 tumour and it was removed by surgery could this make a difference i don t know are you clear of brain mets at the moment or is the norm to have more than 1 tumour or clusters

Hi Northerngirl,

Just know you have to wait several years 2 - 3 years from diagnosis before you are allowed to drive. Checked with BC Care helpline and the nurses there said they believe this is true. I think it is something to do with brain is unpredictable therefore they want to know your are clear for several years after treatment in case you suddenly have something go wrong and cause an accident.

Also if you are allowed to drive you are supposed to let insurance co know, a bit like all insurances I suppose.

Don’t know if that is any help.

Treakle.
