Overview

• Dingley remains symptom-free under active surveillance and has retained his driving licence after reporting his diagnosis to the DVLA.
• His next six-month MRI scan is scheduled for later this month as part of ongoing monitoring of his oligodendroglioma.
• He will walk 25km across 16 London bridges on September 21 as part of Brain Tumour Research’s Thames Bridges Trek to raise funds and awareness.
• Doctors offered surgery, biopsy or continued monitoring, and he chose surveillance after scans showed his tumour had minimal blood supply and he had no symptoms.
• Brain Tumour Research reports that brain tumours receive just 1% of national cancer research funding despite killing more men under 70 than prostate cancer.
