Dad who put headaches down to snoring has aggressive brain cancer

Andrew Hayes, initially attributing his headaches to sleep apnoea, was diagnosed with aggressive glioblastoma brain cancer after a CT scan revealed a tumour.

Andrew Hayes, a 61-year-old grandfather from Nottingham, believed that his persistent headaches and fatigue were merely symptoms of sleep apnoea.

Further MRI scans yielded suspicions of glioma, prompting surgery to remove most of the tumour.
