A 25-year woman who was told she was too young for a brain scan was diagnosed with a 'huge' brain tumour that had been growing for 15 years.
Claudia Laird said she experienced "a few random headaches " and "brain fuzz", but put it down to tiredness while studying paediatric nursing last year.
She said she was told that an A&E consultant told her the hospital does not do scans "willy nilly" on younger patients and felt "unheard" and "uncared for" during her diagnosis, Lancashire Live reports.
