Welost Steven on 22/11/2014

Hewas an amazing Son, Brother, Uncle, Cousin and Friend

Ifyou met Steven once you would remember him as he was such a character anamazing guy.

Stevenhad been suffering from headaches for around 6/8 weeks

Stevenwasn't one to complain and was never sick. So when he started to complain ofthese headaches he knew something was up and so did we. He took himself off tothe Doctors and told them of his headaches, he came back and he had to takeParacetamol and ibuprofen.

Hedid this for a week and still no better, during this time Steven's behaviourhad changed, he became even more annoying than ever before!   :-)

 Steven became very touchy and more in touchwith us all. After 1 week, we felt it was important that we attended anotherappointment with him as he didn’t express himself very well.  This was very important to stress to the doctorshow Steven was changing, how different he was, and that he just was not right.He had become very forgetful, lost his appetite. We spoke with the Doctor andhe asked us both what we were thinking could be up. We both said we were highlyconcerned that this could be a Brain Tumour. They ruled out a Brain Tumour as he was not showing the signs they wouldlook for. He was responding to all the little tests that they would do for anysigns of this.

Weleft with no real explanation, the Doctors did not know, told Steven to carry onwith the Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.

Hethen became a lot worse, he was being sent home from his work as he was juststanding at his machine in a daze. They were taken his key board away from himas he was a danger to himself and others.  He then was signed off from his work. Steven thenwoke one morning and sat on his bed and said he didn't know whether he shouldgo to work today, we told him he didn't need to as he had been signed off for 2weeks. Steven had forgotten this had happened, and when we told him, he stilldid not remember.

Allhe wanted to do was sleep, he had stopped eating and drinking at this point, wehad to tell him to as he would forget .We would physically put a drink down infront of him and he just wasn’t thinking to drink it. This all happened in sucha short space of time and so quickly, we didn't know where to turn or what todo for him.

Onthe Thursday 19/11/2014 Steven had become very hard to wake. We said enough wasenough and we were taken Steven up to A n E. We then had to try and get Stevenup out of his bed and say to him

 "Come on Bruv the quicker we get you upthere the quicker we can get you back home and back into bed"

Hehad deteriorated so quickly that evening it was unreal. There was no way wewere going to leave without him having a scan and getting to the bottom of itall.

Thehospital done there first initial tests, asked his name, where are you, countbackwards, which Steven struggled with. This set alarm bells ringing, they knewsomething was seriously wrong with him. Within 1 hour they sent him for a CTscan which we started to walk down to and Steven could not walk anymore, he wasso tired in so much pain, we had to go and get him a chair to push him in. Hehad his scan and then we waited, waited for the worse possible news anyonecould ever imagine. He had a massive tumour, pretty much over the whole of hisbrain. He then started to have seizures; they tried so hard to fight for him ashe was only 34 years old. Thursday night they had to put him into a coma to tryand help his brain, took him up to Intensive Care Unit where they were amazing.But there was nothing they could for him, we told all the family and Steven'sfriends, everyone rushed to the hospital to say there final goodbyes to him.Steven never woke again. We had our time with him, we got to kiss n cuddle himand tell him how much we all loved him, and then Saturday morning came, wherewe lost our beautiful Steven.

Ourlives have been changed forever he will always be with us and always be loved.It’s so important that this happens in his memory.

Ifwe can raise awareness and just help 1 other person not go through what we wen through then it will help us along the way.

Weas a family are still in total and utter shock and have been left devastated bywhat has happened

The if’s the buts the maybes and the whys areunreal and always will be                                                                    

Ithink I can speak on behalf of my entire family that we walked around in abubble thinking, it would never happen to me, then it did.

Stillin so much disbelief that Steven is gone, but he will live on through each and everyone of us!

And with your help you can make this possiblefor us all.
