A man who had been living with a brain tumor for several years attributed his symptoms to fatigue and stress. This was reported by daily mail.
In 2018, Matt Carpenter, who lives in the United Kingdom, learned that he had a low-grade glioma in his brain. He had a CT scan of his brain eight years ago, but the images showed no tumor. The man’s condition had been slowly deteriorating since 2012, but he attributed his symptoms to stress and fatigue.
At first he noticed that he forgot some words, slurred his speech, or did not remember what he had just said. A few years later, the man’s mental health deteriorated, but he attributed this to hard work, as he was then working 70-80 hours a week on a project for the homeless.
In 2017, a man had a seizure on a plane: he made strange noises, was breathing heavily, and couldn’t move. He later confused this situation, which was repeated several times, with sleep paralysis. In January 2018, he consulted doctors who discovered that he had glioma.
Two months later, the tumor was removed and the man regained consciousness during surgery. Three months later, he was able to return to work on his homeless project and even completed the Tough Mudder, an endurance challenge consisting of a 16-12km obstacle course. He then had to be treated for a second brain tumor, this time with radiation and chemotherapy.
The man noted that he did not experience headaches or vision problems, which are the main symptoms of a brain tumor. Depending on which area of the brain is affected, the tumor can also cause seizures, constant fatigue, nausea and vomiting, memory problems, personality changes, weakness, or paralysis on one side of the body.
