Tracy Kehoe, 57, found herself forgetting she had already completed tasks or conversations, as well as repeating herself, in the spring of 2025. The concerned mom-of-two, from Salford, Greater Manchester, decided to visit the doctors, worried she might be suffering from early-onset dementia.
She was sent to Fairfield General Hospital in Bury, Greater Manchester, for what she believed was a routine MRI scan, but was shocked to find out she had aAfter a debulking operation in August 2025, the school business manager completed radiotherapy and is currently undergoing chemotherapy to control the disease.“It absolutely floored us because I’m well. I’ve always been well; I have never really been ill. “My sister noticed I had been repeating myself and forgetting conversations which is not like me at all. “A colleague at work noticed as well, saying she noticed I couldn’t remember if I had made phone calls or added an amount of money up or something similar.“When they told me I had cancer my whole life flashed in front of me, and the fact that we had all our “We were looking to do long-haul holidays and all these things that my husband and I have worked for all our lives. “I planned to have a wonderful retirement and then to have that taken away from you, to be told that it could actually be anywhere between six and 18 months.Tracy said she also began experiencing dizziness, headaches, and finding that her eyesight would occasionally distort.“At the end of December 2024 and heading into the start of 2025, my dad, who is living with dementia, had reached a stage where my mom could no longer manage his care at home, and he moved into a care facility. “I convinced myself that my own symptoms were simply my body’s response to the emotional toll of everything happening around us.”She said the next month, April, she mentioned her concerns to her sister — who doesn’t want to be named — who told her she had noticed she had been repeating herself, and forgetting conversations. She said, “I remember telling her I was terrified I might be developing early-onset dementia — a fear rooted in family history, as my grandfather died with dementia and my dad now lives with it.She then booked a GP appointment for May 6, who subsequently arranged for her to undergo an MRI scan on June 28. Following the scan, doctors sent her to A&E, where she waited several hours and completed further blood tests. She was later taken into a private room where a doctor completed a neurological exam and gave her the news — she had a brain tumor. Tracy then went home for two days before attending the Salford Royal Hospital for further exams on July 3, and it was diagnosed as a Glioblastoma — an aggressive brain cancer — with a maximum life expectancy of just under two years.She then underwent an awake craniotomy — surgery where she would be sedated and then awoken during surgery while they removed the brain tumor, according to the NHS.She said, “My husband and I had built a life around the hope of a long and happy retirement. “We’d worked since we were 16, raised our children, watched them thrive in their careers, saved diligently, and made plans for long-haul adventures, months in Spain with loved ones, and exploring the UK in a campervan. In one sentence, all of those plans evaporated.” Now, eight months on, Tracy has completed six weeks of radiotherapy and has now finished four cycles of chemotherapy, with two more to go.The group walked from the Church Club in Prestwich, through to McDonald’s in Radcliffe and back again, dressed in bright red clothing, the colors of the charity.Her daughter, Ellie Hutson, 28, was “shocked” by the tragic news and has since channeled her emotions into doing something positive, organizing a sponsored 10km walk to raise money for The Brain Tumour Charity. The primary school teacher took on the feat last Sunday, March 22, with a group of around 25 close family and friends, including the very brave Tracy.Ellie, from Salford but now living in Prestwich, said, “It was initially really shocking. “I think I’m quite a practical person, so when we first thought it was a tumor, I think I went into an organizational mode of ‘what kind of tumor? When will we find out? What are the next steps? “On the third of July, it was the day after my birthday, we found out that it was basically cancerous and incurable. So that’s when the emotion set in.“One day my mom will pass, I want to be able to look at this time and think we did so many amazing things.”This under-the-radar Amazon favorite is 20% off for the Big Spring SaleSpring into action: This 20% off sports bra has our hearts poundingChilling moment Bryan Kohberger talks about his college murders with DMV worker — as he changed his license plateDisgraced cop chokes up describing how she lost 'everything in 15 seconds' before she was shot in chestNicole Kidman called this serum her secret to ‘thicker, fuller’ hair —and it’s 20% offThe group walked from the Church Club in Prestwich, through to McDonald’s in Radcliffe and back again, dressed in bright red clothing, the colors of the charity.
