According to Metro - Main, Lewis Goodfield described collapsing in pain while in hospital, with nurses initially assuming he had a seizure before a CT scan showed a mass on his brain. He had been admitted to hospital twice before for bad stomach pains, which are believed to be entirely unrelated to the brain tumour. For these stomach issues, Goodfield has undergone extensive medical testing, including 10 CT scans, various MRI scans and x-rays, a colonoscopy, and two endoscopies.
According to Metro - Main, Goodfield described the diagnosis as a massive shock but noted the tumour was not aggressive, and he expressed frustration over his stomach problems, saying he has tried different diets and lifestyle changes without relief. The long-term prognosis for his brain tumour after successful surgery and what specific tests or treatments are planned for his stomach issues beyond the scheduled endoscopy and capsule test are not yet clear.
I collapsed in pain while in hospital and nurses assumed I’d had a seizure. Then a CT scan showed a mass on my brain.
It was a massive shock. [But] it wasn’t aggressive.
I could hear all the drilling and conversations. It was really strange and just a lot to take in.
My neurosurgeon showed me the tumour in the palm of her hand. I was a bit shocked to see it, it was about the size of an egg.
Keeley has borne the most of this. She’s had support from family and friends but she’s largely dealt with it all on her own.
I can’t live my life like this. I’ve tried different diets and gave up spicy foods, then I gave up alcohol for a couple of months – all sorts. It doesn’t help.
