A stunned mum-of-two has told how her 'sunstroke' turned out to be a brain tumour. Care worker Janet Sykes, 44, assumed her headaches and a sense of confusion had been caused by spending too much time in the hot weather.
Janet started suffering the symptoms after volunteering outside at a village fayre in May. But as the painful headaches persisted she was referred to the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading for an MRI scan
Shockingly a week later it revealed a deadly mass on her brain. The next morning Janet was told the mass was a high-grade glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and she was unlikely to live for more than five years.
