Summary

When twenty-five-year-old Claire Bullimore fainted on a London train, she thought it was just exhaustion. Months later, doctors discovered a ten-centimeter brain tumor pressing against her vision and memory—a diagnosis that would change everything.

Told with disarming honesty and wicked humor, A Brain Tumor's Travel Tale takes readers on Claire’s rollercoaster journey from diagnosis and emergency brain surgery to the long, messy road of recovery. Along the way, she faces seizures, speech loss, fatigue, and the strange world of rehabilitation — all while trying to rediscover who she is after survival.

Through laughter, tears, and some truly unfiltered moments (“Cards on the table—I pooed myself”), Claire reveals what it really means to rebuild your life after your brain hits the reset button. This isn’t a medical manual or an inspirational cliché — it’s the story of a woman learning to live, love, and laugh again, one clumsy, beautiful step at a time.

A powerful sharing of an incredibly tough journey. Claire's honesty, humour and optimism shines through this book as she shares a very bumpy journey of her brain tumour experience. As someone on my own brain tumour journey, I could relate to parts and felt inspired and in awe of other parts. I'd really recommend this book to anyone going through a brain tumour journey, their friends and family and also anyone who appreciates a human story of challenge, hope and making the world a better place!

A fascinating tale
