'Doctors said I had brain cancer and just six months but I'm still here nine years later'

A woman who was told she had brain cancer and had just six months to live is still alive nine years later - after being misdiagnosed by doctors.

Filmmaker and actress Tara Rule, 31, from Scotia, New York, US, suffered from years of poor health medics and had medics diagnosing her with some of the most serious of diseases ranging from brain cancer to multiple sclerosis.

She went through blood tests, MRIs, CT scans, PET scans, lumbar punctures, EKGs, EEGs, ultrasounds, endoscopies, colonoscopies, nerve stimulation tests, sleep studies, DEXA scans, multiple biopsies, and lymph node extractions.
