Scots mum tragically dies of cancer after thinking dizziness was 'baby brain'

A mum tragically died of cancer after thinking the dizziness she had been suffering was due to 'baby brain'.

Anneka Johnstone, 33, passed away on November 18, 2019, just six months after she was diagnosed with a glioblastoma - an aggressive type of cancer that occurs in the brain or spinal cord.

Anneka had given birth to her daughter, Sienna, now four, the previous year. Her husband Alan, from Dumfries, said she had been suffering with spells of dizziness but put it down to "baby brain" - until she fell while holding baby Sienna.
