Medical Student Diagnosed with Brain Tumor

A medical student named Alex was diagnosed with a serious brain tumor called a high-grade glioma, which is being treated like a glioblastoma.

This is a very serious condition, and doctors say that people with this usually live for about 12 to 18 months.

Alex had surgery to remove part of the tumor, and he will also need chemotherapy and radiotherapy to try to get rid of the rest.

Because the tumor was putting a lot of pressure on his brain, doctors had to put in a temporary shunt to help, which then became a permanent one.

Alex's father, Ian, talked to the Mirror newspaper about what happened.
