It's my MRI scan tomorrow, and I'm feeling uncharacterically calm. However, when I actually get to the Sussex MRI centre it will probably be another story. Fingers crossed everything will be fine.
My name is Claire. i'm 31. I've been really lucky for most of my life, except for one thing. I had a brain tumour, an astrocytoma. It was operated on 7 months ago at Hurstwood Park, Haywards Heath with complete resection and with no further treatment needed at this stage. My tumour was benign, a grade 2. After the operation my speech and my movement were affected. I couldn't move my arm or my leg down my right hand side. And I could not speak at all. However, gradually I recovered and now I seem to be almost the person I was before the tumour, except of course minus a tumour.
Many people will search on the internet when they get a diagnosis of a brain tumour, however all brain tumours are unique to the individual person diagnosed therefore it is extremely difficult to say they are going to affect everyone in the same way.
