Testimonials

First-hand experience with a pituitary gland tumour

I had quite a bad time for that month and a half. But once they diagnosed the adenoma, I felt calmer since they told me that “they are normally all benign”, in other words they do not contain cancer.

First-hand experience with epilepsy

Be brave, because there is always light at the end of the tunnel. And don’t let the fact that they say “40% are fine and 60% probably end up in a bad way” scare you. I have a 40% chance of being fine.
