Teen with 'stress' headaches and tiredness had rare brain tumour growing for six years

A Belfast teenager whose headaches and nausea were thought to be linked to stress is now raising awareness of brain tumours

Amber Hanna, now 18, spent around six years suffering from headaches and fatigue. Doctors initially said that Hanna was probably suffering from stress.

Amber was later diagnosed with a brain tumour and has now said that she wished she had undergone scans at an earlier stage. The Belfast woman is now supporting a new flagship campaign from The Brain Tumour Charity to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of the disease in children and adults, reports Belfast Live.
