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.
