It is estimated Matthew Collins will only have between 12 and 18 months left to live, and wrote the letter in our sister title
A man has written a 'goodbye letter' to his loved ones as brain cancer slowly begins to shut off his body.
He wrote: "Turns out the old tumour has probably been sitting there dormant for years, pressing down on the part of my brain where all my personality, emotion and memory is stored. The tumour made me question my self-worth, withdraw for years from my friends and family and shut myself away from the world, making me feel like I didn’t belong anywhere.
He went on to thank his now partner, Claire, for encouraging him to go to the hospital after he suffered a stroke. Matthew went on to explain how his tumour induced a wave of seizures before paralysing the left side of his body. Due to the pressure, his brain shifted 10mm to the left side of his skull.
Before signing his open letter with Wales Online off, he issued an appeal to those who are suffering brain tumour symptoms. He urged people who are experiencing seizures and headaches to "insist on having an MRI scan" and to "push for a second opinion from a neurologist". "And the surgeon, Kat Whitehouse, and her team in Cardiff who removed the tumour, have also been amazing with me.
