A mother who works with brain tumour patients missed the symptoms of her own cancer for months before being given a terminal diagnosis.
Neuro physiotherapist Rosie Croft, 36, from Glasgow, was diagnosed with a stage three brain tumour in 2016, 10 months after her daughter Imogen was born. The new mum began suffering migraines and nightly bouts of sickness, initially putting it down to a lack of sleep and post natal depression.
But after waking up with double vision one morning, she visited an optician, where signs of pressure were spotted behind her eyes, reports the Daily Record. Devastatingly, doctors at Ninewells hospital in Dundee diagnosed a glioblastoma tumour. Ms Croft said: "I'm a neuro physiotherapist and I should've recognised the signs. I felt stupid when I found out what was wrong with me — I thought I just couldn't cope with my baby.
