Jason Dullaghan, 54, began experiencing problems with his vision seven years ago but his GP put this down to stress and prescribed antihistamines.

But a private MRI scan, offered through his employer, later revealed the devastating truth that he had a stage 4 glioma growing on his brain stem.

He was given six to 24 months live but defied the odds and his tumour appeared to stabilise and shrink.

He adopted a vegan diet and began taking CBD oil to try and help improve his long-term outlook.

But in October 2022, a routine scan revealed a second tumour had developed on his temporal lobe.

Jason suffered a seizure in November 2023 and spent his final months in a care home before passing away on July 9, 2024.
