Nathan Simonds
ARTIST - 14 Years Old
Pilocytic Astrocytoma
Off Treatment
At age 10, after suffering for seven months with headaches and dizziness, Nathan was diagnosed with a brain tumour in the cerebella the size of an orange. He was immediately taken into hospital where he bravely underwent a nine-hour operation to remove it.
Nathan continues to have balance, coordination and vision problems, and struggles with anxiety and fatigue. He often finds school a real challenge. Nathan continues to be monitored with regular scans #BetterSafeThanTumour
Nathan really enjoys getting out and about with his camera being creative. He finds taking photo’s relaxing and it has really helped him to gain confidence and to reduce his anxiety. He is really proud and excited to have his work shown in this exhibition.
