The Brain Tumour That Saved Me (en Inglés) - Paula Johnson

What if the very thing that nearly broke you became the turning point that reshaped your life?

In her late thirties, Paula Johnson was training for her first Ironman when her body began behaving in ways no one could explain: crushing fatigue, strange symptoms, and bursts of energy that pushed her farther than ever before.

The diagnosis, when it finally came, was shocking:

a rare hormone-secreting brain tumour.

What followed was anything but a tidy story of illness and recovery.

Life veered wildly through brain surgery, earthquakes, a devastating house fire, divorce, breast cancer, broken bones, missed diagnoses, unexpected love, and a surprising late-in-life ADHD discovery.

And somehow, through all of it, there was laughter.

The Brain Tumour That Saved Me is a deeply human memoir about rebuilding a life when everything seems to fall apart. With candour, humour, and hard-earned wisdom, Paula reflects on what it means to keep going when life refuses to follow the plan.
