'I got up and I couldn’t twist my neck.'
Terry Charters with wife Tracey and White Hart licensee Lauryn Craig A truck driver who went to hospital with a headache and a stiff neck was shocked to learn he had a brain tumour ‘the size of an egg’. Terry Charters was diagnosed with the aggressive tumour in 2020 and underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment to tackle it. Sadly however, the rare form of cancer, called oligodendroglioma, was deemed to be incurable and nothing more can be done.
‘I’d had no seizures but I was told it was a grade three tumour the size of an egg – three centimetres – and it was already aggressive. ‘I don’t know how long it was there for or what caused it, it just happened and was unknown.’ Terry’s wife Tracey urged people to go to the doctor if they have any health issues, adding: ‘If Terry hadn’t got checked out he could have had a seizure or something worse.
