Amy Seager, a 38-year-old branch manager from New Malden, UK, faced a life-altering diagnosis when an MRI for a back issue revealed a brain tumor known as an acoustic neuroma. Initially, Amy experienced tingling and numbness on the left side of her face, along with hearing loss, starting in January 2025. Despite these symptoms, she felt dismissed by healthcare professionals, who initially attributed her symptoms to less serious conditions. It wasn't until March 2025, during an MRI scan, that the tumor was discovered. On May 13, 2025, she underwent surgery at St George’s Hospital in Tooting, which successfully removed the tumor but resulted in the loss of hearing in her right ear. Now, Amy is determined to raise awareness and funds for brain tumor research. She is participating in the 200k in May Your Way challenge, walking to support the cause. Amy emphasizes the importance of funding research for brain tumors, stating that more awareness is crucial for this often-overlooked condition. Her story highlights the need for vigilance regarding seemingly minor symptoms and the potential for serious underlying health issues.
