Getting Back on the Road After Brain Mets and Lung Cancer When Emma was diagnosed with ALK+ lung cancer at 21 weeks pregnant, she was also told it had already spread to her brain. Then she lost her driving licence—and with it, her independence. As a mum of two living in a rural village, that meant struggling with everyday life—getting the kids to nursery, swimming lessons, even just making it to a yoga class. Up to 70% of people with ALK+ lung cancer develop brain metastases, yet many aren’t given clear guidance on what happens next with driving. That’s why ALK Positive UK’s DVLA Advisory Panel have created the most thorough, easy-to-use resource available—covering everything you need to know in one place. "I thought it would take forever… but once I had clear guidance, the process was actually simple and stress-free. I got my licence back much quicker than I expected!" - Emma This guide simplifies everything: ✅ DVLA rules & Section 88 explained clearly ✅ The right forms to submit & when to do it ✅ Who to contact to speed up the process You can find it here - https://lnkd.in/eG26U_RF This is ALK Positive UK’s first-ever Patient Information Forum (PIF) certified resource—fully evidence-based, fact-checked, and up to date. A huge thank you to our DVLA Panel—Paul, Duncan, and Ian—for making this happen!
