Fighting a brain tumour, being a dad, trusting God, writing music
The content is a personal account of undergoing radiotherapy for brain tumor treatment. The aim is to share insights and practical advice, emphasising the importance of accepting the treatment, coping with the mask fitting, and maintaining a positive mindset during sessions. Common side effects like fatigue, hair loss, and nausea are also discussed.
"Your tumour has changed. There's a small area now showing some potentially higher grade changes. Watching & waiting isn't an option anymore, we're going to do a biopsy and then blast it with radiotherapy and round off with chemotherapy" 🤯 Take that as a birthday present 🎁
So as we come to the end of March 2023 and the end of brain tumour awareness month, I just wanted to pay tribute to some of the amazing people I’ve met or been inspired by on this brain tumour journey.
“Be the reason why people believe in pure hearts, good vibes and kind souls”
This blog is to highlight the beautiful qualities of humans and what we are capable of when we selflessly unite together for a purpose.
One breath at a time, one step at a time… There is help available, there are people you can talk to, medication you can take but step 1 starts with recognising your own challenges for what they are… what mental health needs is more unashamed conversation, so let’s get chatting.
My whole philosophy since this tumour turned up has been about looking for the positives, not accepting my fate in a negative way but fighting for all the beautiful things I have in my life… and this situation just perfectly brought all of that together.
I hate admitting that I can be weak, I hate admitting my weaknesses, I hate asking for help. There we go, I said it!
This is a short blog post with a simple message - YOU’RE ENOUGH...
Celebrate life - don't take anything for granted and live in the moment.
