Behind every brain cancer diagnosis is a story of courage. Hear real voices and learn how research and awareness can change the future.
About this Event

Brain cancer remains one of the most challenging and least understood cancers, affecting people of all ages and changing lives in an instant. Each diagnosis carries a powerful story of courage, uncertainty and determination, shared by patients, families and the medical teams who care for them.


As part of Brain Cancer Awareness Month in March 2026, this Cambridge Festival event will bring together patients, carers, clinicians and researchers for an open conversation about living with, and tackling, brain cancer. Through real experiences and shared insights, we aim to shine a light on the human side of this disease, from the first symptoms, to treatment, recovery, and ongoing research.


The session will highlight why raising awareness matters: early detection saves lives, research drives hope, and collaboration between patients and scientists fuels progress. This is an opportunity for the public to listen, learn, and ask questions, to understand how every voice can help shape the future of brain cancer care and research.


Join us in supporting those affected and in building awareness that leads to action.
