Mum 'ready to plan funeral' as toothache turns out to be devastating disease

A mum said she was "ready to plan her funeral" after she was diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Emma Webster went to the dentist in April 2018 with excruciating pain in her tooth. The 29-year-old was awaiting root canal surgery and was rushed through to see if that was what was causing her pain.

However, doctors thought she was experiencing neuralgia, a stabbing pain due to an irritated or damaged nerve, when the pain didn't go away after six months. However, she was referred to the neurology department at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, Glasgow, when she was still struggling with numbness on the top her mouth, pain and blurred vision.
