Recently Rebecca attended an event in Parliament hosted by the Brain Tumour Charity to mark the launch of the their new report making the economic case for a national brain tumour strategy.

More than 12,000 people are diagnosed with a primary brain tumour each year and with more than 120 different types affecting different areas of the brain, outcomes can be very different from person to person.

Brain tumours are one of the biggest cancer killers of children and adults under 40, yet the warning signs are still not widely known. Spotting symptoms early can make a real difference.

Symptoms of a brain tumour can range from headaches, nausea, dizziness and tiredness to changes in vision, seizures or even a loss of taste or smell.

If you would like to find out more about brain tumour symptoms, the Brain Tumour Charity and the great support they offer follow the link to their website here: www.thebraintumourcharity.org/.

After visiting the event, Rebecca commented: "Thank you to the Brain Tumour Charity for all their hard work, guidance and support for those diagnosed with a brain tumour.

"As a former Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Brain Tumours, this is an issue I care deeply about. It was especially moving to hear directly from the charity's young ambassadors about their experiences and why better awareness, research and support matters so much."
