Former political rogue Nick Xenophon has been diagnosed with a brain tumour which he has described as a “ticking time bomb”.
Former Senator Nick Xenophon has revealed that he may need to undergo surgery after being diagnosed with a slowly-growing tumour.
Mr Xenophon was last year diagnosed with a meningioma, a slow-growing tumour in the membranes around the brain and spinal cord. Mr Xenophon first entered politics in South Australian parliament as an anti-pokies campaigner in 1997 before he moved to the federal Senate, where he served for nine years. His tumour was revealed last year when he went to the doctor suffering from a stiff neck and a headache and was sent for CT scans.He said that he may need to undergo surgery if the tumour continued to grow.
