Brain tumour diagnosis could be made within hours, say researchers
New testing method means treatments could start sooner, possibly before patient leaves the operating table A new method for diagnosing brain tumours could cut the time patients wait for treatments by weeks to hours and raise the possibility of novel types of therapy, researchers have said. According to the Brain Tumour Charity, about 740,000 people around the world are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year, around half of which are non-cancerous.

This is incredibly heartbreaking. Another example of what women have to deal with when seeking medical care. When we aren’t listened to or taken seriously when we know that something is wrong. When the arrogance of doctors is pitted against those who know their bodies…
