To mark International Brain Tumour Awareness Week (30 October to 6 November 2021 inclusive) the IBTA is proud to announce the launch today of its new podcast series.
In this series, “A Brain Tumour and Me – a journey of inspiration, personal stories and hope”, we’ll be meeting some of those working in the field of neuro-oncology, the people who support patients and their families and those who’ve been told they have a brain tumour. We’ll learn how brain tumours have affected all of these people, often in surprising ways.
We begin our series with author and broadcaster Doctor Stuart Farrimond from Trowbridge in England who’s been talking to our reporter Graham Seaman about his own experiences of living with a brain tumour, how it offered unexpected opportunities to do things he’d never have dreamt of before diagnosis, what having the support of friends and family truly means, and – as a science communicator – Dr Stu shares his personal hopes for the future of neuro science and surgery.
