I lost my Fiancée to Lung Cancer at the age of 28 .Which started as Metastasis Sarcoma in her leg .
My Mum to Breast Cancer which she battled with for 32 years but was lucky enough to trial a new drug which gave her another 8 years of Life , and My Dad to Prostrate Cancer that had not been caught in time, but finally passed with Secondary Bone Cancer.
It’s been a very Tough journey over the years.
The Work you and your Colleagues do in trying to find Cures or Preventative Medicines is so inspiring and gives us all some hope of Curing Cancers and giving us longer with our Loved Ones.
Thank 🙏 you ❤️

Wonderful to read such an optimistic story these people should be acknowledged for their tenacious work

I think this is fantastic research! Praise to all who sacrifice for others in future.. I would like to be updated on results. I’m retired RN & have seen so much suffering.

I relief to know that there is a possible route to early diagnosis of brain tumours. My wife died of glioblastoma multiform. I hope this current research is a step towards an ultimate cure and prevent others from suffering as my wife did.

Thinking of Hamerlik and his family. Hope that his gift will bring early diagnosis for many Brain Tumour patients. It sounds very promising and non-invasive. Once approved, it will help so many people. Thanks to the Researchers and all those participating in the study. My brother in law’s, sister in law lost her life to a brain tumour earlier this year and she had so much more to live for.

Every success with the research a brilliant step forward. I have temporal arthritis and often wonder when the pain is bad whether it is something worse happening in my head.

I recovered from tonsil cacinoma with surgery followed by radiology. This was 14 yrs. ago and I’m still clear. Around two yrs ago I began to produce tears in my eyes when reading. Mainly in my right eye. I now have a level of confusion whilst reading, forgetting the storyline and dates names etc. I had a period of headaches which was unusual for me. The main problem was for me the production of tears making reading difficult. I also suffered a depressed skull fracture from a work accident when I was 17 yrs old. It required further surgery when broken bone was removed and a plastic replacement was put in place to support my left brow tissue. after reading the article I would like to know if it would be helpful to research if my tears material could be of use. To the research. i am now 77 yrs old and registered for full body donation to medical research after I die.

Thank you for your continued work, I would be happy to contribute if eligible and wish you all the success that your research and continued efforts achieve.

As a survivor of two brain tumours, which took a long period of illness and various tests being inconclusive before being taken into hospital and the tumours being discovered after scans, this is a fascinating read, which hopefully with further research might help to get people the tumour diagnosis sooner and lead to a higher chance of recovery.

Oh this is great. I pray God to continue to give us the insite to these treatments.

This is fantastic and can help people in the future.
Thankyou to Alex and his family for their bravery and commitment to the research programme.
Cancer has affected me personally twice in the last 12 months with two family members my mum and husband.
Any research and support fund raising is so important for the future of positive outcomes.

It is so exciting …., I had a brain tumour and a surgery done in 2023, still having some little challenges with eyes and still under observation. It would be a pleasure to support in any way I can to make this a success. I don’t mind giving my tears if it can help.

Reading this incredible research is an incredible insight. We lost a wonderful family member in January this year to glioblastoma. He was diagnosed when I took him to A&E. He’d shown signs of confusion and we thought it was a UTI or possibly a mild stroke. Once these were ruled out I insisted that he had a CT scan.
They found numerous tumours. Absolutely devastating news! We thought that he would be receiving some treatment but his health deteriorated and decision was made that treatment wouldn’t go ahead.
Our amazing Brother died in Jan, two months after his diagnosis. Seems very hard to detect unless it points to an obvious symptom. He had been to GP with dizziness and a chest infection. No indication of the brain tumours that were so aggressive.
Our prayers are with Alex, he is a very special individual giving crucial information to help others going forward.
That’s an amazing legacy.

What a great step forward. The trouble only being lots of cancers go undetected till it’s too late.How will this stop that?

I lost my husband to prostate cancer 5 and a half years ago. Now,my long term friend is battling breast cancer.
Any tests that can give an early diagnosis is fantastic. I suffer from chronic pain, acute migraines and dry eye. I would be more than willing to help this new way of showing potential brain tumours.

An amazing innovative research with tears. Thank you for making the world a better planet. I admire your tenacity and care. May all the powers that be afford you every chance of succeeding in all you do. Thank you small words sent with gargantuan support.

This would be fantastic Happy to donate

I think it’s amazing so many improved treatments and diagnostic tools which have become available in very recent years thanks to your dedication expertise and perseverance..Thankyou..
I will continue to support in any way I can

They say the eyes are the window to our souls. This research may prove that they are the window to much more. I hope this trial is successful. Thank you to people like Alex & his family for helping with the trial 🩷

I had lung cancer last year waiting for a brain scan in January lung clear at the moment, would be interested in donating tears for research if it would help

This would be a great step forward, to use tears to diagnose a brain tumour before it has gone too far for treatment.

I HAVE ALREADY DONE MY COMMENT AT THUMBS UP.
THOSE WHO ARE DEDICATED AND WASTE NO TIME ARE ALWAYS THE WINNERS.

Fantastic news anything that speeds up Brain tumour diagnosis has to be great news as so many people have suffered in the past and hopefully the future looks bright for people who have symptoms now and can be diagnosed quicker getting treatment in place faster therefore saving lives. Thank you all so very much for all your incredible and dedicated work. I would like to be kept updated as the research continues please.

This is brilliant news hope it speeds up treatment on brain tumours

This is brilliant news hope it speeds up treatment on brain tumours

I donated my tears in hospital after i got brain mets .

I’m looking forward to seeing positives results from this trial.
It will give hope to many.
Fascinating reading.

This is so amazing – excited to see the future and where this trial may lead

Fascinating research on tears and brain tumour diagnosis. Should speed things up for many people
