Let's Talk About Brain Tumours

Episode 43 - Headaches and Brain Tumours

Imelda and Rebecca both experienced headaches caused by their brain tumours. They share how these symptoms were often dismissed by GPs and not taken seriously - despite also having other indications that something wasn't right and needed investigating.  They explain what the headaches were like and what made them think there was something more going on than just having bad headaches or migraines.
