A woman told how she was inspired to become a nurse after her mum died from a brain tumour - just two years after being diagnosed.
Siobhan Cunning, 42, lost her mum Christine Mann, 60, to a glioblastoma (GBM) in March 2019. Mum-of-three Christine had non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and required an MRI scan every six months at University Hospital Monklands in Airdrie, North Lanarkshire.
A scan in 2016 revealed the mass on her brain - but medics were not able to operate because it was in such a sensitive location. Siobhan said her mum's diagnosis played in a big part in her decision to become a nurse and she was glad she was alive to see her accepted onto the course.
