Extracts from "My Brain Tumour"
'Upon waking up one morning, I yawned and stretched as everyone does at the start of a new day and suddenly felt my lower leg start to flick kick involuntarily....I grabbed my leg but was unable to finish it and as it didn't last really long, I thought I may have at bay a nerve in my back or hip. I have no medical training so why I thought that I have no idea! It simply seemed like a sound explanation at the time'.
Nobody ever expects to be diagnosed with a brain growth and believe me it would be surely have been one of my worst nightmares. It does your blood run cold and turns your life into a spinning top of anxiety and fear. You're frightened and everyone about you is frightened and your 1st thought is why you should have fallen victim to this situation. I use the word 'victim', because that's how I felt at the time. I hope that by reading my story it wish help you in coming to terms with your own situation. This book covers my experiences, from my Symptoms, through Diagnosis, the Emotions felt by everyone, the consequent Hospital Tests, MRI, Surgery and Recuperation.
