My Story…
In 2019, I was diagnosed with an NF related brain tumour. I remained stable for a while. However, At the start end of May 2019, I started to feel very unwell. I lost a tremendous amount of physical strength, was experiencing excruciating daily headaches, I was very dizzy & woozy and I was also very tired. These symptoms all hit very quickly, I went from feeling normal, to like this in about 10 days. What transpired was discovering that my tumour was growing. I found out that I'd need to start radiation therapy as soon as possible to hopefully halt the growth of the tumour. So, starting July 10th, 2019, I began six weeks (30 treatments) of radiation therapy, finishing on August 22nd, 2019. It was the hardest 6 weeks of my life. But I made it through. Since then, I've received two stable MRIs, which means that my tumour is not growing.
But, my hope is for a future without NF, so this never has to happen to anyone else. Donations, can help find a cure and support NF patients.
