A woman who lost her mum to an aggressive brain tumour is set to suffer further heartbreak after her father was diagnosed with the same illness. Julie Green's mum, Diane, was found to have a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in 2005, and now her dad John is also battling a similar condition.
Mum Diane's symptoms started when she began suffering from severe migraines, eventually slipping into a coma and dying at Warrington Hospital in January 2006. Having lost his beloved wife to the disease, John Green was diagnosed with two brain tumours in July 2021, while fighting stage four lung cancer, reports CheshireLive.
Julie, of Runcorn, says she was 'shocked' when she found out about her mum's diagnosis. The 47-year-old said: "Mum had been back and forth to the doctor with headaches for about a year, but hadn’t got any closer to finding out the cause. Then, one day in March 2005, we had to call an ambulance because she was going in and out of consciousness.
