'Nobody Listened': They Missed the Tumour That Took My Sight

from The Dom Harvey Podcast

At 17, Mitch Wilson thought he was just an exhausted teenager. But dizziness, daily vomiting, and excruciating headaches escalated into something far more sinister: a brain tumour that went undiagnosed for over a year due to medical neglect. The delay cost him most of his eyesight… but not his spirit.In this conversation, Mitch opens up about:The terror of going to sleep wondering if he’d wake up completely in the darkThe angry, self-destructive years that followedHow a German shepherd called Blaze and para-cycling helped pull him backGrief, therapy, purpose, and trying to figure out what life looks like now.Now a world-class para-cyclist and newly married, Mitch is still figuring out what life looks like in the long term. This is a story of survival, identity, sport, grief, love, and the stubborn refusal to give up. And it is one of those episodes that will stay with you. Hosted on Acast.
