Courageous Consett mum who underwent emergency brain tumour surgery in Turkey told cancer is terminal

A Consett mum who discovered she had a brain tumour while on a trip to Turkey has been told she has "incurable" cancer.

Lisa Robinson was diagnosed with a brain tumour in June after she suddenly became unwell while on a solo trip to Antalya for dental implants. The 44-year-old underwent emergency surgery to remove the tumour at Anadolu Hastanesi Hospital which saved her life.

However, when Lisa returned to the UK, she received the devastating news that she had Stage 4 cancer. Now, Lisa has bravely told Chronicle Live that doctors have confirmed her cancer is "incurable but treatable" as she begins her first round of radiotherapy to prolong her life.
