Ashley McWilliams, Community Development Manager at Brain Tumour Research, said: “Marcus, Laura, and Lola’s story is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact brain tumours have on families and the urgent need for better diagnosis, treatment, and support.
Laura was told by medical professionals that Marcus would experience memory loss, speech difficulties, and other challenges, and the family brought in photos and Marcus’ favourite snacks to help speed up his recuperation.
According to leading charity, Brain Tumour Research, headaches and sickness, common symptoms of brain tumours, can be mistaken for other conditions like vertigo.
A father lost all memory of his family and even forgot his own name due to an aggressive brain tumour, which was initially misdiagnosed as vertigo.
Laura is taking part in Brain Tumour Research’s 10,000 Steps a Day in February challenge, along with friends and family.
