Lung Cancer Alk brain mets Driving Ban - 1268828

Hi there

I live in the UK, have Alk positive lung cancer currently Excellent response on crizotinib but I had three tiny brain meta found on a scan last year for which I had gamma knife to which they responded. Immediately the brain mets were found I was told yo my consultant I I couldn't drive for two years, as I was told there is a risk of an epileptic episode from the mets and also from the radiotherapy. my understanding is if I am fit free for two years and don't get more brain mets during that period I can drive again - I didn't ask about the existing mets starting to grow again during the two years but I would guess that would also start the clock running again for two years from that point. Is the position the same in the US? I just hope the UK position is justified! I certainly do not want to kill or injure anybody at the wheel but the driving ban is not easy so I hope it is really necessary! I am 50 with three teenage children and living outside town so it has impacted on our lives substantially. Thank you, Alicia
