In early 2023, Amanda began experiencing frequent dizzy spells, which eventually caused her to lose her balance and fall at work. Following further investigations, scans revealed a tumour and a cyst on her brain.
In October 2023, Amanda underwent surgery to remove both. She was relieved to learn that they were benign.
Recovery has brought its own challenges, including daily headaches, sensitivity to light, noise and smells, as well as difficulties with her memory and finding her words.
After her operation, Amanda was given the details of P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery while visiting Hull Trauma Ward. Since then, she has found support through our face to face meetings, where she can speak openly and connect with others who understand the challenges of recovery.
Amanda shares why reaching out has made a difference:
โPlease reach out to P.A.U.L For Brain Recovery as they are lovely caring people and they will help you along your road to recovery with a safe space to speak about anything. It really does help to speak out about your feelings with them and the service users.โ
Thank you for sharing your story, Amanda. โค๏ธ
