  "account": "Kash Raju, a 33-year-old father of three, dismissed his worsening headaches and other symptoms as stress, dehydration, and the demands of fatherhood. After a series of increasingly troubling symptoms, including dizziness, weakness, and the feeling of unsteady legs, Raju finally sought medical help. His CT scan revealed a large brain tumor - grade 4 astrocytoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.",
  "summary": "At first, Kash Raju dismissed his worsening health as the result of stress and a busy family routine. However, persistent headaches and dizziness led him to seek medical assistance, where a CT scan disclosed a diagnosis of grade 4 astrocytoma, an aggressive brain cancer. He promptly had emergency surgery and began NHS treatment, with a prognosis suggesting he may have only 12 to 18 months left.",
