How was your experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumour?

[Shannon_TBTC]

'When I first experienced symptoms of my own I had many types of tests, scans and treatments but my tumour was able to stay hidden. In the seven years that followed however its side effects gradually increased and they became much more visible and more serious as well - not knowing what this condition was for such a long time therefore made me feel extremely isolated too. When my diagnosis eventually came I received an amazing amount of care, support and understanding.

When being told we have a brain tumour, all of this is so very important for our health and wellbeing. I am so very passionate and determined to help brain tumours become much more represented in national surveys so as to improve the level of general awareness towards them, to have their symptoms be more easily recognisable and to help others affected by a brain tumour receive much more support too. By completing the surveys and helping the Brain Tumour Charity, we can make a really important difference for us now and for the wider world in future.’- Nicola Clark

I was named a neurotic nurse and went down to under six stones due to continual dizziness and vomiting due to Nystagamus so I was, after over two years, greatly relieved to know it had been acknowledged and I had a REAL ILLNESS
