"I wasn’t prepared for the changes. At first, it was small — dropping things, forgetting words mid-sentence. Then my balance went, and people started asking if I was exhausted or careless. I wanted to say, ‘No, this isn’t me being tired. This is me losing control of my body.’
What scares me most isn’t what I’ve already lost, but what’s next. Will I be able to walk? Will I recognize my family’s faces? Every symptom feels like a countdown, and I don’t know what tomorrow will take from me.
Brain and spinal tumours are abnormal growths that can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Even non-cancerous tumours can press on nerves and brain tissue, causing weakness, balance problems, seizures, speech or vision changes, and chronic pain. The symptoms depend on the tumour’s size and location.
Symptoms: “TUMOR”
T – Trouble with balance, walking, or coordination
U – Unexplained headaches, nausea, or vision problems
M – Memory loss, confusion, or difficulty speaking
O – Ongoing weakness or numbness in arms/legs
R – Recurring seizures or sudden personality changes
When to Seek Expert Care?
Rehabilitation should begin as soon as possible after diagnosis, surgery, or treatment. Early rehab helps the brain and spinal cord recover, reduces complications, improves mobility, and supports independence. Even during ongoing treatment like chemotherapy or radiotherapy, gentle rehab can maintain strength and quality of life.

Yes. Even non-cancerous tumours can affect movement, speech, memory, and balance, and rehabilitation addresses these functional changes. Rehab can safely continue alongside chemotherapy or radiotherapy to maintain strength and independence.
Rehabilitation should begin as early as possible, often soon after diagnosis or surgery. Early intervention helps prevent complications, supports neural recovery, and improves long-term outcomes.
Targeted physiotherapy, speech therapy, and cognitive retraining can significantly slow functional decline and, in many cases, restore lost abilities. Therapy focuses on maximizing what you can do today while preparing for future challenges.
