He thought his wife was unfaithful

After the birth of his son, Henley, in May last year, Briton Andy Hampton, 54, completely changed his personality.

He had become absentminded and indifferent – and he was absolutely convinced that his wife, Gemma Hampton, 37, had been unfaithful.

We met eight years ago and always had a steady relationship, but shortly after we had Henley, Andy’s personality changed drastically, Gemma tells South West News Service (SWNS).

Beware of the powerful images below.

I couldn’t stop the thoughts

Andy became paranoid, confused, and angry.

– She says: He realized a lot of things that didn’t make sense.

Andy said he realized it was only in his head, but he couldn’t stop all the bad thoughts.

– I felt like Andy wasn’t listening to me, and because I kept criticizing everything he did wrong, his paranoia made him believe things that weren’t true, Gemma explains.

Sheets cannot be changed

From March to May this year it got worse and worse, and the home marriage in Sturminster Newton in the southwest of England began to falter.

– Before, it used to be different when Andy became confused and paranoid, but now it’s starting to happen every day, as his wife explains.

When Andy had to change the sheets and couldn’t figure out how to remove the pillowcase, he made an urgent doctor’s appointment.

On the way to the doctor, Andy started vomiting, and the doctor rushed him to the emergency room at Dorset County Hospital.

The doctor suspected the 54-year-old had an infection, but it turned out to be much worse.

Malicious and aggressive

The MRI showed Andy had a large glioblastoma in the right half of his brain.

Glioblastoma is a very malignant and aggressive form of cancer pocket doctor.

Although the news of the cancer came as a shock, both Gemma and Andy were relieved, too.

It was nice to know that something was causing Andy’s behavior and that it wasn’t our marriage that failed. “We knew what we had to deal with, and we could come up with a plan to fight cancer,” she says.

– it happened instantly

On May 31, he had surgery for the tumor, and when he woke up from the anesthesia, Andy was normal again.

– It happened instantly – Andy’s mood and personality immediately returned. Gemma says old Andy is back.

You want to help others

Andy is now on his second round of chemotherapy and has become very involved with the cancer case.

He wants to educate others about the symptoms of a brain tumor.

On September 30, he took part in a charity walk to raise money for the British organization Brain Tumor Research, which works to find a cure for brain tumors.

– Anyone, anytime

Mel Tiley, Director of Communications at Brain Tumor Research, calls Andy’s story “a great reminder”.

It’s a great reminder that brain tumors can affect anyone, at any time, she says.
