John Lawson had a high-flying career as a chef but suffered brain damage after a tumour was found.
John Lawson was left unable to speak and with no memory after a biopsy on his brain tumour caused him to suffer an uncommon form of strokeA renowned chef who worked alongside Gordan Ramsay has told how he was left unable to make a cup of tea after being diagnosed with a brain tumour.Mr Lawson had previously cooked for the Beckhams and made TV appearances in shows such as Chopped in America and MasterChef Australia.
"I thought they were the reality of my life and just got on with it, until I woke having a seizure about six months later."He was left brain-damaged, unable to speak, with no memory and could not use the entire left side of his body. After months of intense rehabilitation, including strength training and speech therapy, he was asked to complete a series of tasks.He said: "I had gone from running a kitchen with 60 chefs to failing a taste test and not being able to coordinate the steps needed to make a cup of tea."
Mr Lawson regained his strength and underwent an awake craniotomy, during which 90% of his tumour was removed.Brain Tumour Research wants the government to ring-fence £110 million of current and new funding to kick-start an increase in national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million a year by 2028."For too long governments have put brain tumours on the 'too difficult to think about' pile," he said.
