What started as odd, unexplained symptoms — like the smell of burning rubber, weird tastes, and random déjà vu — ended in tragedy for 44-year-old dad-of-three Barry Fair, who initially chalked it all up to stress.
His GP thought the same and dismissed the symptoms, but things took a terrifying turn when Barry suffered a seizure at home. His wife, Leanne, and their son, Rhys, witnessed the whole thing, and Barry was rushed to the hospital. That’s when the devastating truth came out: Barry had a grade 3 astrocytoma, a particularly aggressive brain tumour.
