Back in the Game: My Brain Tumour Diaries - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When Danielle was living her dream, playing professional football for Liverpool, everything changed with a diagnosis no athlete ever expects: a brain tumour. An acoustic neuroma, a rare, benign brain tumour, had been growing quietly for years. When it began to affect her hearing and balance, Danielle was faced with an impossible decision, With treatment decisions looming, Danielle had to weigh her options, radiotherapy, surgery, or simply wait and see.

This is the real, unfiltered story of what happened next.

Told in Danielle’s own voice, sometimes funny, sometimes scared, always honest, Back in the Game shares the emotional rollercoaster of training through symptoms, breaking the news to her teammates, and preparing for surgery while trying not to let fear win. It’s about balance (literally), setbacks, awkward goodbyes, hospital gowns, unexpected friendships, and the fire to return stronger.

It’s not just about football. It’s about identity, resilience, body image, mental health, and what it means to keep going—even when you're terrified.

For anyone who's ever faced the unknown, stood at the edge of something huge, or had to fight to get back to what they love, Danielle’s story is a reminder that it’s okay to be scared, and powerful to carry on anyway.
