Mum devastated as daughter who was falling asleep at school diagnosed with brain tumour

A mum was left devastated after her teenage daughter who began falling sleeping at school was diagnosed with a brain tumour. Karen Kinsella says she was left 'numb' following the shock diagnosis after her teenage daughter developed a headache.

The mum-of-two, from Greater Manchester, says she would often come home to discover her daughter, Emily, asleep when she was supposed to be doing school work. However, Karen dismissed her child's tiredness back in 2021 for usual teenage antics.

Emily then developed a headache and a few days later her mum noticed that her face had dropped on one side. Karen decided to take a picture of the teenagers face and sent it to her GP, reports Manchester Evening News.
