A mum-of-two died of a brain tumour after suffering from what she believed were symptoms of the menopause.
Sarah Hawkes passed away at her home in Chapel Park, Newcastle, after experiencing migraines and brain fog. The 45-year-old's family were devastated by her death and had no idea what had caused her to pass away in her sleep.
It wasn't until they received a report from the coroner that they discovered she had a stage four brain tumour. Medics had arranged for her to have a brain scan however she lost her life before the appointment took place.
