Brain Membrane Tumour (Meningioma)

A meningioma grows slowly. Often over years, sometimes over decades. It sits in the meninges — those layers that envelop and protect the brain — and makes itself known only gradually. Then come headaches that refuse to disappear. Visual disturbances. Feelings of dizziness. Sometimes changes in personality that others notice before you do. The diagnosis hits hard: a tumour. In the head. In a place that could not be more intimate — there, where you think, plan, feel, where you are you.
