Firstly, I don't want anyone to panic or worry unnecessarily when a DC has a headache but I do want to share the details of what to look for in terms of suspected brain tumours because I know far too many families who've made umpteen visits to a GP and eventually been diagnosed in A&E.
Please familiarise yourself with the image below (from the Brain Tumour Charity) and importantly;
-1 symptom - see your GP
-2 symtoms - ask your GP for an urgent referral
-Eye abnormalities or vision issues - see GP AND Optician
-Seizure (without a fever) go straight to A&E
If you know something is wrong, please don't allow yourself to be fobbed off, unfortunately it happens far too often.
My incredibly healthy 18 year old daughter was in her first term at Uni when she was diagnosed with glioblastoma following a routine eye test, she was given a prognosis of 12 months but defied the odds by living 4.5 years.
Knowledge is power and speed of diagnosis is really important so please make sure you know what to look for x
