Abi Bradley (31) initially thought double vision caused only a change in pressure during a 9-hour flight To Massachusetts, where she and her husband Josh traveled to the wedding of her cousin. Shortly after the arrival, however, a 24-year-old woman paralyzed on the right side of the body-a symptom that eventually revealed a much more serious diagnosis, writes.
Despite the fact that she visited a doctor and underwent CT examination did not reveal anything, After returning to the UK, her doctors found a golf ball tumor in the brain. “It was a huge shock. When they told me about my diagnosis and that it was incurable, I was really upset. It was something I never expected. It was terrible, ” described.
Since Abin tumor was in the left back of the head and in the upper spine, doctors could not operate it. The good news, however, was that due to its location, the tumor could not spread further across the body. After diagnosis, she underwent five laps of chemotherapy and six -month radiotherapy, during which she completely lost her hair.
Abi said she first noticed a double vision when she removed the luggage from the dispensing belts. At that time, however, it attributed this to a change in pressure on the plane. Only when they stayed did she know that something was wrong. “I tried to apply my eyeliner, but it wasn’t because my hand didn’t coordinate. I also noticed that my left eye started to pull in and ran. I lost control of the left side of the body and the right eye, which later told me that there were symptoms of a brain tumor. After a few days, I couldn’t swallow the food, and every time I felt like I was chokeing, ” She explained her difficulties.
However, a young woman is slowly recovering from Glioma 3. Degree – an aggressive and fast -growing tumor that diagnosed it. The tumor has reduced from the size of the golf ball to the size of the grapes And slowly began to regain the mobility in the limbs. Now every three months is undergoing control examinations to see if the tumor is growing. He claims that when he thinks of his way back, he feels gratitude.
“At that time, many things have changed, but I realized very soon that I wouldn’t be overwhelmed. I have great friends and family who supported me. I firmly believe that if you focus on something, your body will respond to it. I’m not saying it will work for everyone, but it worked for me, ” She added Abi, which founded a company called in 2021 „The Cancer Card“while producing and selling postcards with cancer themes to help the comrades continue their struggle.
