The tumour had already reached the size of a golf ball, and was pressing on my optic nerve, this is why my vision was weakening. This disease could also have led to infertility, so I was informed
I would not be able to have children. By 2009, I was taken off medication as the tumour had shrunk, but unfortunately I had a relapse in 2010 - the year I got married. Today, by the grace of God, the tumour has not returned.
