A family has been dealt another devastating blow after a man was diagnosed with the same illness that killed his wife, despite displaying no symptoms.
Julie Green's mum, Diane, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in 2005 after she'd struggled with migraines for months. Julie, of Runcorn, said she was 'shocked' when she found out about her mum's diagnosis as they 'never expected something like that would happen'.
Eventually, Diane slipped into a deep coma and died at Warrington Hospital in January 2006, surrounded by her loving family, CheshireLive reports. But now, the family has been dealt another cruel blow as Diane's husband John has been diagnosed with the same illness.
