I have Grade 4 Glioblastoma Brain Tumour so I can not work

Donation protected
Thank you so much for your donations it means a lot to me!

Hi everyone I started work at 16 but now can’t work at the moment due to my grade 4 Brain Tumour which I’m trying to get through it. It’s pretty devastating what I can no longer do :(

Who would have thought I now have grade 4 Glioblastoma which is a terminal brain tumour and could only be part removed, I have had Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy which has only put my tumour on pause for a little.

Below is what I went through from the start to now.

Discovered in Easter 2019 could not walk straight plus being sick so had to go to hospital fast…..first time ever at 45 well that turned out to be a midge bite inner ear but with the brain scan they also discovered what might be a brain tumour so monitored it.

I had it part removed in December 2021 as started to grow fast, they couldn’t remove the full tumour as too deep and it turned out to be grade 4 which is terminal, Iv had radiotherapy over 6 weeks and chemotherapy over 6 months which was 5 day tablets 23 days to recover.

Sorry but the part of my brain they had to remove has effected some short term memories so very hard to think of the right words even though I know what I mean.

Due to the treatments I have been undergoing the brain tumour is now on pause, the treatment has given me constant ringing in my left ear though which is quite annoying especially at bedtime.

I still have a lot less energy than I use to have plus can no longer drive or work so stuck in the house all day, trying to do things around the house otherwise I would get super bored.

December 2025 was my last brain scan results came in January 2026 my brain tumour is still on pause, next scan will be in June. thank you everyone for your lovely donations to help me pay the bills and save up for treatment.

I now have my brain scans every 6 months.
