A woman from Coatbridge told how her mother dying from a brain tumour just two years after being diagnosed inspired her to become a nurse.
Siobhan Cunning, 42, lost her mum Christine Mann, 60, to a glioblastoma (GBM) in March 2019. Mum-of-three Christine had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and required an MRI scan every six months at University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie.
A 2016 scan revealed the mass on her brain but medics were unable to operate because it was in such a sensitive location. Siobhan said her mum's diagnosis played a big part in her decision to become a nurse and she was glad she was alive to see her accepted onto the course.
