Lisa's Astrocytoma Story

In this podcast episode of Aunty M Brain Tumours Talk Show, Lisa shares her Astrocytoma story. She began experiencing persistent headaches as a teenager. Initially attributing them to stress from her architecture studies, she sought massages, visited doctors, and even tried treatments for migraines, all without finding relief. It wasn’t until a severe seizure led to her hospitalization that the actual cause was discovered: a cyst on a brain tumour in the right hemisphere of her brain. “Keep positive and focused on getting well. Some days will be hard, but you can’t appreciate the highs without the lows.” - Lisa
