A mum-of-two has been living with a rare life-changing disorder for thirty years after a shock diagnosis following a trip to the doctor when she grew seven bra sizes.
Linda Ellis, 64, from Norris Green, was an avid squash player when she was younger until she grew seven bra sizes and began to put on weight, making it difficult to stick to her schedule of playing three times a week. Living on a military base at the time with her serving ex-husband, the mum, who was raising a young family, went to the doctor on base to ask for a breast reduction.
Instead, the mum-of-two said she was sent for an x-ray of her head. Linda told the ECHO she "couldn't comprehend why" he had sent her for one, though realised when she was told a "mass" had been discovered on her brain.
