A man who started to feel ‘spaced out’ and ‘sick’ while at work in Costco in February was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Philip Boal, 44, was initially told it was just a migraine and to take paracetamol. After his condition worsened, he was given an MRI scan at The Walton Centre in Liverpool, which found a 6cm cyst about to burst on the back of his head and a tumour.
Philip, who is from Ireland and lives with his partner Steve in Waterloo, said: “I was feeling spaced out and was getting bouts of dizziness. But then the sickness began and I had a constant feeling of wanting to be sick.
