Emma Webster had an MRI scan and was given the news she had a brain tumour behind her right eye
A mum who thought she had toothache was shocked when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour and said she was “ready to plan her funeral". Emma Webster, 29, went to the dentist in April 2018 with toothache.
In March 2019, Emma had an operation to remove 70% of the benign tumour and moved back with her parents with her fiancé Kieran McGurk, 31, and their son Alife, seven. Emma struggled with headaches and problems with balance for the next eight months before the medication finally started to make her feel better.
“I could only think of Alfie and what would happen to him if he lost his mum. I was ready to start planning my funeral. I can’t believe I’ve now got to the stage I am not always having to be at the hospital but instead we bought our new home, I am getting married in two years, and I’m expecting my second child in eight weeks. I never thought that would be the case back in 2019.”
In January 2019, after her symptoms persisted Emma sought advice from a third GP who referred her to the neurology department at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow. She went for an MRI scan and three days later she was given the news that she had a brain tumour in her right eye. “I was in and out of hospital for months after,” she said. “I had trouble with my balance and still had bad headaches.”
