A mum-of-two was in tears after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Janet Sykes assumed her headaches and a sense of confusion were symptoms of sunstroke after spending too much time in the hot sun. The 44-year-old started suffering the symptoms after volunteering outside at a village fayre in May.
She was referred for an MRI scan at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading after her painful headaches persisted. The care worker received her results a week later, which revealed she had a deadly mass on her brain.
