A young woman who was diagnosed with a brain tumour after a visit to Specsavers thanks the staff who "saved my life".
Ellie Musgrove, 21, started experiencing severe headaches and neck pain after her 21st birthday in January 2022, but she knew it was more than just a hangover. She also could not see properly when plucking her eyebrows, with her vision impaired with black spots and double vision.
After being prescribed antibiotics over the phone from her GP, her symptoms did not improve, so Ellie tried the opticians. Thinking she just needed glasses, she was not expecting to be told she may have a brain tumour - which if spotted a day later could have proved fatal.
