The IBTA is delighted to announce the launch of the fifth episode in our podcast series: “A Brain Tumour and Me – a journey of inspiration, personal stories and hope.” In these podcast episodes we’re 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 affected all of these people, often in surprising ways.
Being told she had a very rare type of brain tumour at the age of just 27 is something Miranda Shipman from North Carolina in the United States certainly wasn’t expecting. But it was an event that reshaped her life in so many ways.
In this episode Miranda talks to our reporter Graham Seaman about how she coped with the news of her first diagnosis and the surgery that saved her life. Miranda describes what happened when she discovered the tumour had later returned, and how she now faces the future.
“A Brain Tumour and Me” is available via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, CastBox, Anchor and the IBTA website at www.theibta.org/podcast.
