Natalie, mum of two, is bravely sharing her story to raise awareness of the life-changing impact of a brain tumour after suffering a sudden seizure behind the wheel of her car just days into her new job.
Natalie Fowler, who was 32, at the time and from Merthyr Tydfil, had just completed her first week in a new role at a GP surgery, instead of a leisurely drive home, she experienced a frightening seizure at the wheel. Her niece thankfully was in the passenger seat and acted quickly and instinctively, managing to stop the car, preventing any accidents.
On a warm July afternoon when Natalie and husband Stephen sat in a consultant’s waiting room preparing for what was to come after various CT and MRi scans, they were told, ‘sell your house and hope for the best’ as news of the diagnosis was delivered.
Natalie says she was completely blindsided by the diagnosis. “I never imagined that something like this could happen to me—especially so suddenly. One moment I was settling into a new job, and the next, my world changed completely,” she shared.
Determined to bring hope and insight to others, Natalie is speaking out about her journey through cancer treatment and a major life-changing operation. Her goal is to show how fragile and precious life is—and how quickly everything can change.
