'I'm lucky to be alive' - Appeal to bring Consett mum home from Turkey after emergency surgery for brain tumour

A Consett mum said she is lucky to be alive after becoming seriously unwell with a brain tumour and bleed on the brain while in Turkey.

Lisa Robinson, 44, flew on her own to Antalya on Thursday, June 23 for a consultation about getting dental implants. But when the mum-of-two arrived at the Magic Smile Turkey dental clinic the following day, staff noticed from her strange behaviour that something was seriously wrong.
