Background story:
Daniel Calver was diagnosed with a brain tumour – a grade 2 glioma – just one week after his 31st birthday in March 2018. He had experienced no symptoms before suffering an unconscious seizure, which lasted 11 minutes.
Daniel underwent an 11-hour awake craniotomy, after which he suffered temporary paralysis down his right-hand side and became mute, requiring speech therapy. He went on to have 30 sessions of radiotherapy and was supposed to have six rounds of chemo but afterdoing 4, discovered he had another tumour and was scheduled for another operation.
With Daniel’s original tumour located in his right temporal lobe, initially his surgeons were only able to remove 40% of it but during his second surgery, not only did they remove all of his new tumour but they found his brain had pushed his original tumour up as it healed,enabling them to take at least a further 20% of that too.
Daniel suffered with semantic errors after the 2nd surgery but he is now much better and being monitored with six-monthly scans. He has also been able to start driving again and has returned to work, taking up a job as a butcher in his home village
