I had my cerebellar stroke in January 2016 at the age of 50

Having exercised most of my life, I was fit and healthy. I was training for triathlons, being a Mum and working as the Director of Nursing at The Royal Melbourne Hospital.
My life was busy, and I was loving every minute of it. That was until one night, while reading a book to my daughter, I suddenly started to vomit. The room was spinning, and I was off balance. As a nurse I knew something was terribly wrong but wasn’t sure what – I certainly wasn’t thinking stroke.
