A 12-year-old Dublin girl was diagnosed with a brain tumour after going to her optician complaining of severe headaches.
Bella Rose Delaney’s father, Dean, noticed that his daughter was suffering with persistent and severe headaches for two months since Christmas, which was causing her and her family some concern. Before experiencing these symptoms, Bella Rose was an avid reader and played soccer for her local team, St. John’s Bosco, as well as participating in regular dance classes.
But she found herself unable to play sports and enjoy reading as she normally would. Bella Rose visited her GP with her father but her headaches were still persisting so Dean then booked her an appointment in Specsavers Crumlin to try and get answers.
