flag Two women delayed seeking help for symptoms mistaken for menopause, only to be diagnosed with brain tumors months later.

flag 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. flag 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. flag Flynn underwent a 10-hour surgery in October 2024, resulting in hearing loss, facial palsy, and balance problems. flag 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.
