In this podcast episode of Aunty M Brain Tumours Talk Show, Mel Kelly shares her journey from the initial misdiagnoses of persistent headaches and vision loss to her brain tumour diagnosis on December 19, 2022. Despite the shock and challenges, including a crucial surgery just before Christmas and the struggle to regain her driving license, Mel's story is one of encouragement for awareness.

Post-recovery, Mel actively participates in fundraising and awareness campaigns, notably organizing a 12-mile walk and raising funds for The Brain Tumour Charities. She also supports "It's a No Brainer," advocating for a national brain tumour strategy. Mel's experience highlights the importance of support, awareness, and advocacy in battling brain tumours.
