A woman whose mum died from an aggressive brain tumour is devastated after her dad has been diagnosed with the same illness. Julie Green's mum, Diane, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in 2005 after she'd struggled with migraines for months.
Tragically, Diane, who was only 55, slipped into a deep coma and died in January 2006. Having seen his wife pass away, John Green was diagnosed with two brain tumours 15 years later. The 69-year-old was also diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, CheshireLive reports.
Julie, from 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.
