两名妇女因被误认为更年期的症状而延迟寻求帮助,但几个月后才被诊断患有脑肿瘤。 Two women delayed seeking help for symptoms mistaken for menopause, only to be diagnosed with brain tumors months later.

一名来自Eastleigh的51岁妇女和一名来自Taunton的60岁的法庭书记员最初都责怪持续症状,如头痛、疲劳以及更年期或压力方面的认知问题。 A 51-year-old woman from Eastleigh and a 60-year-old court clerk from Taunton both initially blamed persistent symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and cognitive issues on menopause or stress. Tracy Flynn在两次迟发诊断后, 都出现大型声学神经瘤, Elizabeth Murphy 两次生长缓慢的脑膜炎。 Routine eye and late-night MRI tests revealed brain tumours in both—Tracy Flynn had a large acoustic neuroma, Elizabeth Murphy two slow-growing meningiomas—after delayed diagnoses. Flynn在2024年10月接受了10小时的外科手术,导致失聪、面部麻痹以及平衡问题。 Flynn underwent a 10-hour surgery in October 2024, resulting in hearing loss, facial palsy, and balance problems. 两人现在都在通过11月99英里脑肿瘤研究的挑战来提高认识和筹集资金,敦促其他人认真对待长期的症状并寻求医疗答案。 Both are now raising awareness and funds through Brain Tumour Research’s 99 Miles in November challenge, urging others to take persistent symptoms seriously and seek medical answers.
