A woman who was left visually impaired after having surgery to remove a brain tumour, is preparing to take part in a Sunderland-based triathlon.
Karen Eggleston’s grade 1 olfactory groove meningioma was discovered after she suffered a seizure at home and went into cardiac arrest in June 2020, flatlining for about 10 minutes.
She had been exhibiting strange behaviour, attributed to workplace stress, but the shocking discovery was not made until brain scans were carried out to check for any damage sustained during the 10 minutes her brain was without oxygen.
