US EditionWeightlifter’s Headaches and Nosebleeds Lead to Brain Tumor Diagnosis
- Scott Hinch, a weightlifter and solar engineer from Abergavenny, Wales, experienced a seizure on August 19, 2019, which led to an induced coma; upon awakening, medical scans identified a grade 2 tumor known as an astrocytoma in his brain.
- He ignored preceding headaches and nosebleeds, attributing symptoms to long work hours and heavy gym training until the seizure led to urgent hospital care and diagnosis.
- Scott underwent emergency surgery on September 4 to partially remove the tumor, followed by 16 months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which stabilized the tumor for two years before recurrence.
- After intensive chemotherapy failed to cure the cancer, Scott began his third treatment round and described suffering from "relentless fatigue" and dependence on his 51-year-old mother, Fiona Lott, who became his full-time carer.
- Scott's family is taking part in a 200k fundraising challenge to support brain tumor research, highlighting the importance of improving survival rates, developing gentler therapies, and finding a definitive cure to alleviate the hardship experienced by families.
