Jay Hanna: Brain cancer awareness month starts on Wednesday, and it hits home
Wednesday marks the start of brain cancer awareness month. Every year around 2000 Australians are diagnosed with the disease, this year, a bloke called Kevin was one of them.
Kev found out he had brain cancer three weeks ago. He’d been feeling dizzy for a few days, then he took a bit of a turn, so his partner of three decades took him to the hospital. An hour later, Kev could neither walk nor talk. While those symptoms were temporary, scans revealed the worst, Kev had a stage four malignant brain tumour.
