A fit young father has been devastatingly diagnosed with an incurable brain tumour just months after the arrival of his new born daughter. Owain James, 34 who is a plumber and ambitious footballer, initially came down with extreme headaches which were then later discovered by doctors to actually be seizures.
Owain, from Caerphilly in Wales, underwent brain scans at The Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran where doctors tragically uncovered a grade four brain tumour in his head called a glioma that required urgent surgery in order for the 34 year old dad to live. Medical staff claim that if the tumour had not been located when it was that Owain would likely have passed away only months later, Wales Online reports.
His anguished wife, Ellie James, 33 said that her seemingly healthy husband had been playing football for his treasured Church Village FC only a week before his crushing diagnosis on September, 4 and earlier in the year he had also competed in a 10km race with some friends. The pair, who have an 18-month-old daughter called Amelia, have now promised each other that they will do "anything and everything" to have as much time together as possible.
