BBC Scotland political editor Glenn Campbell has revealed he has a brain tumour. The sad news comes just two months after he suffered a horrific bike accident which left him with 10 broken ribs.
He insisted he is as ‘optimistic as it is possible to be’ ahead of having surgery on Thursday, adding the operation is the ‘only way to find out exactly what type and grade the tumour is and to decide on further treatment’.
He told BBC colleagues his bones have ‘mended really well’ after the crash and he is feeling “great”.Glenn doesn’t think the accident caused the tumour ‘I have been diagnosed with a brain tumour and will have surgery for that on Thursday August 10. ‘That’s the only way to find out exactly what type and grade the tumour is and to decide on further treatment.
‘I don’t think the tumour caused my accident or vice-versa, but it is possible that falling off my bike has helped reveal the tumour earlier than might otherwise have been the case.
