In 2009, while training for her first half marathon, Lisa Sweetman began noticing unusual and unsettling changes in her body. Her joints ached, her energy plummeted and she gained a lot of weight. It would be another several months of self-advocacy before she would receive a distressing diagnosis: a brain tumour.
