A young woman was left heartbroken after being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour, 20 weeks into pregnancy. Laura Elizabeth Mahon first felt something was wrong with her health when she was unable to move her toes after waking up.
The 29-year-old was sent to The Walton Centre hospital for an MRI scan after her GP believed her baby was pressing against a nerve in a back. But after several tests and scans, the mum-to-be - who was just 20 weeks pregnant at the time - was told she had an incurable brain tumour, with only two years left to live, Liverpool Echo reports.
"I didn’t think too much about it, after all I was pregnant and was feeling tired." Laura said. "But things got worse the next day and I could no longer move my right leg and was struggling to walk. Over the following week, I was unable to feel much of my right leg.
