When marathon runner Greig Frankland-Wilkinson suddenly started feeling dizzy and constantly tired, he went to his GP, who suspected he had picked up an ear infection while on his holidays.
"I just thought it was a bit odd, how I was feeling. I was doing so well at the time with my running. I had just managed to go under 20 minutes for the 20k, 19 minutes and 53 seconds. I was all ready to push on from there, but by the following May I had been diagnosed with a brain tumour. The scans revealed a benign, 8mm brain tumour in the cranial nerve from his left ear to his brain and by May he was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma . By last year it had grown to 12mm.
Greig, who is a maths teacher at Stockport Grammar School, said: "The kids are school are really good. They are really respectful actually. I tell them I don't mind them talking about the maths, but if it's anything else maybe don't say that."
