A terminally-ill mother discovered she had three deadly brain tumours after a routine dentist appointment. Janice Smith, from Christchurch, underwent an MRI scan in January to check the new dental implants she had installed to replace teeth lost from a severe fall three years prior.
But a concerned dentist found “a dark patch” on her scan and referred her to a doctor for further scans and examination. Janice and her family then received the devastating news that she had three brain tumours and one in her chest, reports Dorset Live.
One of the brain tumours has been removed, but doctors confirmed to the 57-year-old that they are unable to remove the other two due to their locations. “The doctors got her to come in for MRI and three to four hours after the MRI, they called us to say you need to come in for a chat and we were informed she had a brain tumour”, Robbie recalled.
