A St Helens man wonder if he was "going to die next week" after collapsing.
Matthew Montgomery, from Eccleston Park in St Helens, was about to graduate as a solicitor, was moving to London and planning his best mate's wedding when he had a seizure in May 2019. He was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary for tests before being sent to The Walton Centre, a specialist neurology hospital in Liverpool, where he got a shock diagnosis.
He told the ECHO: "I wanted to get qualified, get to a firm I'm happy in and start building things from there. All of a sudden, I'm told I've got a brain tumour, but I didn't really understand at that point what it means. You know, 'Am I going to die next week? Is it going to take a few years? Is it going to need an operation?' I was completely on my own. I managed to hold it together a little bit with the support of my family and now my girlfriend."
