Young footballer supports brain tumour fundraiser
Mr Leach was diagnosed after experiencing double vision and informing the club physiotherapist."It was a lot to comprehend and didn't feel real because I was so healthy, exercising a lot and eating well," he said.
Mr Leach's family crowdfunded for private treatment in Turkey and the tumour was removed in September 2020. "The operation took eight hours and my surgeon said it was the hardest he'd performed in his 25-year career," he said. "I woke up in intensive care knowing I was OK because I wasn't blind or paralysed, which were some of the risks I'd been warned about.
"I had a condition called parinaud syndrome though, which causes your eyes to fix downwards. It got better after a few days, but I still see double when I'm not looking straight ahead.I tried coaching for a while but, ultimately, that wasn't for me."The York St John University student underwent five weeks of proton beam therapy in January 2021 and is now being monitored with annual scans.
