🌟 Meet Craig Alexander, a resilient Welshman whose life turned upside down due to “work stress” headaches, which were hiding a far more serious issue. 🌟
Craig, an architect from Monmouth, Wales, experienced headaches and dizziness for years. He brushed them off as the result of long hours and stress. But in May 2023, during a car ride with a colleague, Craig suffered a severe seizure that shocked everyone and changed his life forever. 🤯 🚑
After being rushed to hospital, doctors discovered a large, centrally-located brain tumour known as an astrocytoma. His world was turned on its head. 🧠🔍
Imagine the impact: major surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy, left him unable to walk or speak. Yet, Craig emerged stronger and more determined than ever. 💪✨
These treatments, though life-saving, came at a cost. Craig can no longer pursue his career and deals with chronic fatigue. He’s now passionate about advocating for brain tumour research and better care for patients. 🏥📣
He’s shining a light on the urgent need for change as he supports a manifesto by Brain Tumour Research at the Senedd, calling for more accessible clinical trials and groundbreaking research to transform patient outcomes. 📜🔬
Craig’s story is a powerful reminder of how life can change in an instant and the importance of listening to our bodies. His journey exemplifies resilience and the fight for better healthcare systems. 🌍💙
Let’s share Craig’s story and support the movement for innovative research and better patient care. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter, healthier future. 🙌💖
