Diagnosis…. Hi, my name is Lydia. This is my first foray into blogging so please bear with me!! I always thought that if I did any blogging it would be on the topic of fake tan or make up or something equally innocuous, but alas, this was not to be. I was diagnosed with a GBM brain tumour last October. If, like me (and I would wager, most people) you had never heard of GBM, let me give you a very brief introduction: GBM stands for Glioblastoma Multiforme (“GBM”); it is a malignant tumour which can affect the brain or spine. It is the most common form of brain tumour, for which sorry there is currently no cure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma I am writing this blog for many reasons, but largely to help others who may be going through a similar thing. It has been an incredibly challenging 12 months, some of which seams like a blur, but if there is anything that i can share that may help others... it is worth it! Symptoms So how did I even realise I had this? Well
