Woman who believed seizures were stress-related discovers ‘tennis-ball’ sized tumour ‘squashing’ her brain

A woman who believed her seizures were just due to stress discovered that she had a ‘tennis-ball’ like tumour squashing her brain. Helen Green, 58, started experiencing seizures and assumed they were down to the stress of the pandemic.

The mother-of-two had a phone consultation with a doctor, who then referred her for an MRI scan. Just hours after the scan, she was told she had a six centimetre tumour growing on the left temporal lobe of her brain.
