A mum told how she was diagnosed with brain tumour after her husband and children spotted symptoms in her eye - when they were taking pictures. Mum-of-three Jane Kochanski, 46, was diagnosed with the 3cm tumour last November after suffering from severe eye spasms for around two years.
She hadn’t been able to see her GP about it during the pandemic and wearing face masks meant spasms in her face went unnoticed. Her husband and kids had started to notice her eye was closed over in pictures - but just assumed she was tired or it had been caused by the flash.
Jane, from Kilmacolm, Renfrewshire, said: “The eye spasms had been happening on and off for the last two years. My eye had also gradually begun to close which I hadn’t had checked out by the GP due to the pandemic. My husband and children had commented on it when they saw me in photos but we just assumed that I was tired or maybe it had been caused by the flash."
