A pregnant woman who was diagnosed with a fast-growing brain tumour said she knew something was wrong when she woke up and couldn't move her toes.
Laura Mahon said she first thought the sensation was down to her baby pressing against a nerve, the Liverpool Echo reports. But scans later revealed that the 30-year-old had glioblastoma - a grade four brain tumour.
Doctors then tragically told her it was inoperable. Laura, from St Helens, said she was 20 weeks pregnant with her daughter when she first felt the unusual symptom.
