She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus – a build up of fluid deep within the brain – caused by a brain tumour and required emergency surgery to drain the fluid.
“I am slowly but surely recovering and will now have regular MRI scans to keep check on the tumour. The neurosurgeons think it’s a slow growing tumour, that only 1% of people develop, so hopefully I won't need surgery to remove it anytime soon.
