Meet April
Months after her own Mum was diagnosed with cancer, April got the devastating news that she also had cancer after numerous visits to her GP who passed her headaches off as other conditions. April needed a shunt and surgery immediately for her Medulloblastoma Grade 4 brain tumour, followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. April is now on maintenance to keep the cancer from returning and talks about how she doesn’t understand how she was late diagnosed after weeks of feeling so unwell.
