Woman’s brain tumor undetected for 10 years as she thought she was just tired
Emily Corrigan, 32, struggled with stress, extreme fatigue, and dizziness for several years, without even realizing that these symptoms indicate a serious illness, Metro reported.
Emily thought she was just tired as she is the mother of four children. However, she ended with hospitalization after a sudden attack. During the examination, she was found to have astrocytoma - a brain tumor with the size of an orange. According to doctors, the tumor grew from seven to ten years.
The astrocytoma was removed surgically, but a relapse was detected several years later. As a result, Emily again had to have surgery, and now she is undergoing chemotherapy courses.
Emily urges to be more attentive to her health, and not to postpone a visit to the doctor in case of malaise.
