Eleven years of chemo for a cancer that never existed

Eleven years of chemo for a cancer that never existed

Becky Jones, 21, was told she had a terminal brain tumour and underwent 11 years of temozolomide chemotherapy, despite scans never showing a tumour. In 2025 she learned she never had cancer; she actually had tumefactive demyelination, an inflammation treatable with steroids. More than 40 patients are suing University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust over prolonged or unnecessary TMZ, and a Royal College of Physicians review found case mismanagement and a 'betrayal of patient trust.' The trust says it has implemented stronger oversight and actions to improve prescribing.

Bachelor Nation alum Joe Amabile recovering after brain tumor removal

Former Bachelor in Paradise star Joe Amabile said on Good Morning America that he's recovering three weeks after brain-tumor removal, with speech returning about 90% and daily meds; doctors found a blueberry-sized astrocytoma in his left frontal lobe via MRI and say early detection offers a good prognosis. He spent four days in hospital, is back to routines (including a run about two weeks after surgery), and is supported by wife Serena Pitt as he shares his journey to help others.

Real-time AI acts as surgical co-pilot in first brain-tumor operation

The world’s first brain-tumor removal was performed with real-time AI assistance that analyzes the live operation to highlight vessels and nerves, guiding surgeons while they retain control. Rhys Hibbert’s tumor near the pituitary gland was removed, preserving vision and energy. The AI tool, funded by NIHR and Google, aims to become an in-the-room surgical advisor, with broader trials planned as researchers push toward a ChatGPT-like helper for surgeons.

London pioneers AI-guided brain-tumor surgery preserving vision

London's NHNN performed the world's first AI-assisted brain-tumor removal, using an AI system that color-codes critical brain structures in real time while surgeons remain in control. The 11mm pituitary-t gland tumor was removed, helping preserve the patient’s sight and enabling rapid recovery, with the procedure funded as part of an NIHR clinical trial and highlighting AI's potential to boost precision and safety in delicate neurosurgery.

Busy Philipps: Brain Tumor Removed, Back on Set

Busy Philipps revealed she underwent removal of a rare brain tumor earlier this year after a Prenuvo full-body MRI detected a 2.6‑centimeter lesion, later diagnosed as a grade 2 oligodendroglioma. The five‑hour operation was followed by a second surgery to treat a staphylococcus infection, but she has recovered enough to return to work on Cupertino with ongoing regular scans and no chemotherapy or radiation, and doctors say the recurrence risk is low.

Busy Philipps Reveals Survival Journey After Brain Tumor Diagnosis

Busy Philipps disclosed that a full-body MRI revealed a malignant brain tumor (grade 2 oligodendroglioma) that was surgically removed weeks before she began filming CBS's Cupertino; she later faced a staphylococcus infection requiring debridement, but says she’s grateful to be alive and emphasizes the importance of trusting health instincts and staying informed.

Ten-Day Migraine Unmasks Glioblastoma in 34-Year-Old Welshman

A 34-year-old Welshman, Joshua Smith, experienced brain fog and a 10-day migraine that doctors initially dismissed; after repeated ER visits, imaging revealed a brain mass later diagnosed as glioblastoma. He underwent surgery to remove about 95% of the tumor and is now undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy with regular MRI monitoring. His wife, Kelly, is raising funds for brain tumor research, sharing their journey to raise awareness and support trials and treatments abroad.

Decade-long misdiagnosis uncovers a slow-growing brain tumor

A woman who fainted in college and was diagnosed with anxiety spent about 10 years with worsening symptoms until a Prenuvo full-body MRI, followed by contrast MRI, revealed a lesion that grew into a low-grade glioma in the temporal lobe. Given its location, doctors recommended watchful waiting rather than immediate surgery, with potential future options including awake craniotomy and chemo/radiation. She now manages seizures with medication, remains active, and highlights the importance of thorough testing and regular MRIs for unexplained symptoms.

Western Pennsylvania patient joins GammaTile brain-implant trial after tumor removal

A Beaver County man, Tony Parise, is among Western Pennsylvania’s first participants in a national Phase 3 trial of GammaTile, radioactive tiles implanted at brain-tumor surgery to deliver immediate radiation. The approach aims to reduce local recurrence and avoid delays in postoperative treatment, with AHN enrolling six patients and early results suggesting comparable safety to standard radiation.

Heatwave headaches hid a ruptured brain tumor in a teen

Heatwave headaches hid a ruptured brain tumor in a teen

A 17-year-old girl mistook dehydration headaches during a heatwave for dehydration, but a CT scan revealed a slow-growing brain tumor (a dermoid cyst). She had a craniotomy to remove it, but three blood vessels were cut during surgery, causing a stroke and paralysis on her left side. After months of physiotherapy, she regained movement and even resumed dancing; her family is fundraising for intensive private neurorehabilitation as NHS rehab limits posed challenges.
