Mum feels 'robbed' of life with her children after doctors thought headaches were sinus infection

A mum was told her severe headaches were a reoccurring sinus infection but now is on chemo and says she has been 'robbed' of watching her girls grow up.

Jennifer Roscoe, 39, began to suffer from severe headaches and was "feeling wobbly", until one day the "lights were too bright" in work and she had to go home. The St Helens mum went to her GP and was soon told she had a sinus infection and was referred to a Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) specialist at a private hospital.

But for the next six months, Jennifer was back and to from the GP as she was in "agony". On a bank holiday weekend in 2019, the pain was so bad she was forced to call an out of hours doctor who prescribed specialist migraine medication, which still did not work.
