Sophie Reid was just going about her day at work when everything suddenly changed. One moment she was laughing with colleagues, the next she collapsed, unable to speak, and stopped breathing. The 37-year-old mum-of-four had suffered a seizure, and after briefly losing consciousness, she was rushed to the hospital. But instead of a thorough investigation, Sophie says doctors put it down to stress and sent her home.
Something didn’t sit right with her, though. Trusting her gut, she went to her GP, who was stunned no scan had been done. A private scan, costing £30, revealed something much worse than anyone expected – a 4.8cm cancerous brain tumour. Sophie was told it was incurable, and even with treatment, she’s unlikely to live beyond the next 10 years, reported the Mirror.
