When Helen Green began experiencing seizures, she believed it was a result of stress from the Covid pandemic.
However, as the seizures didn't seem to be getting any better, the 58-year-old had a phone consultation with her doctor, who referred her for an MRI scan. Just hours after attending the scan, Helen was told that she had a 6cm tumour growing on the left temporal lobe of her brain.
The tumour was so serious that doctors were surprised Helen was still able to walk and talk. Usually, patients with a similar tumour in that region of the brain would be unable to speak and would suffer from long-term memory problems.
