Man’s constant headaches turn out to be brain tumor

Backed by Brain Tumour Research's 2.6 million, the University of Nottingham's new centre supports research into glioblastoma, with Shane Crommer supporting its launch.
After months of worsening symptoms, clinicians found progressive fatigue, headaches, blurred vision and a fall led to urgent scans at Queen's Medical Centre urgent treatment centre revealing a brain mass and a biopsy confirmed a diffuse midline glioma.
Following diagnosis, Shane Crommer underwent an endoscopic third ventriculostomy and completed 30 sessions of radiotherapy; he donated biopsy tissue for genetic research and is assessed for the ONC201 clinical trial.
The new centre aims to strengthen the national research network and unites patients, researchers, and supporters to improve outcomes.
Using his experience, Shane Crommer shared his story to raise awareness about brain tumors and urged people experiencing symptoms to trust their instincts and seek checks, saying `I was just tired all the time.
