At just 35 years old, Jason Lewis-Thorne, a father of two, is grappling with the heartbreaking reality of planning his funeral. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of stage four cancer known as anaplastic astrocytoma, Jason has been told he has only months to live. The loving father, whose children are just six and two years old, is using his remaining time to raise awareness about brain tumors, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in those under 40.
Jason’s battle began with severe headaches that doctors initially dismissed as stress. He described the pain as “the worst brain freeze” and “intensive sharp stabbing pain” through his forehead. Despite trying several painkillers, including paracetamol, ibuprofen, and Sulphadine, nothing could alleviate the intense pain.
