Shaun was given 'terrifying' diagnosis after he suddenly became 'horny and aggressive'

A man who suddenly became "horny and aggressive" was later diagnosed with a brain tumour. Shaun Turner, 38, discovered he had a orange-sized mass on his brain in 2014 after he lost his sense of smell and eyesight.

Shaun also said he experienced personality changes. Shortly after his diagnosis, Shaun underwent an operation to remove the tumour in October 2014.

Shaun says there are still traces of cancer in his brain and is now monitored during regular scans. The family were hit by the disease once again in December 2018 when they lost Shaun's mum, Jill Turner, to a glioblastoma - a fast-growing and aggressive brain tumour. Jill was initially misdiagnosed with a mental breakdown and died just four months later.
