A student who went for a routine eye test was told she had eight brain tumours, and doctors said she had just months to live. Laura Nuttall, who was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer Glioblastoma Multiforme in 2018, quit her university course to start ticking off her bucket list.
But her family then discovered an innovative new treatment available in Germany. Laura has been undergoing treatment every six weeks in Cologne thanks to donations raised by friends and family and now, aged 22, she has graduated from the University of Manchester.
Laura said: "In my first year, I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it to graduation - never mind get a 2:1." Laura, endured a craniotomy to remove the largest tumour and then started a programme of radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
