The brutally honest, darkly funny memoir about surviving a brain tumour — and rebuilding life from scratch.
From emergency brain surgery and seizures to heartbreak, healing, and finding humour in the chaos, A Brain Tumour’s Travel Tale: Cards on the Table, I Pooed Myself is a raw and unforgettable true story that proves resilience doesn’t always look graceful… sometimes it looks messy, terrified, and hilariously human.
WHY READ THIS BOOK?
At just 25 years old, Claire Bullimore collapsed on a London train, believing she was simply exhausted.
Months later, doctors discovered a ten-centimetre brain tumour pressing against her vision and memory — a diagnosis that would change everything.
What followed was a journey through:
- Emergency brain surgery
- Seizures and speech loss
- Fatigue and invisible disability
- Dating and confidence after trauma
- Grief for the life she once had
- Learning how to laugh again
But this isn’t a medical textbook or a polished inspirational story.
It’s real.
It’s messy.
It’s funny in places it probably shouldn’t be.
And it’s exactly the kind of story people need when life falls apart.
WHAT READERS WILL TAKE AWAY
This book reminds readers that:
- Survival is rarely neat
- Healing isn’t linear
- Humour can coexist with heartbreak
