Dad's stuffy nose was a sign of a terminal brain tumor.
Upon initial diagnosis, Kevin was shocked to discover his blocked nose was actually caused by an incurable brain tumour. Following this, he underwent a private MRI scan and two weeks later, found out it was a grade three anaplastic astrocytoma. The 41-year-old accountant was devastated to learn that this type of cancer has no cure, and he subsequently had to go through a five-hour operation to remove the mass, as well as six weeks of radiotherapy and 12 cycles of chemotherapy.

After being prescribed nasal spray for his blocked nose, Kevin Pemberton was surprised to learn that the cause of his symptoms was an incurable brain tumour. An MRI scan revealed an abnormal lesion on the 41-year-old accountant's brain, which turned out to be a grade three anaplastic astrocytoma - one of the 16,000 brain tumours diagnosed each year. Kevin was left stunned when he heard the news, and could not understand why this was happening to him. He subsequently underwent a five-hour operation to remove the mass, followed up by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Now, he has scans every six months to ensure the tumour has not returned.
