It was one family’s heartbreak and nightmare come true in the United Kingdom after a new mother reportedly passed away from stage four brain cancer.
Sources from local media outlets claim the doctors at NHS downplayed her symptoms and told her that herpes was to blame for the way she was currently feeling. But that really had to do with the fact that her tumor had grown to a huge size and was now in the stage where nothing could be reversed as it was spreading fast.
The 33-year-old cancer patient was diagnosed with the deadly brain tumor just six months back. But just one week prior to that or so, she had been experiencing some awful symptoms. This is the reason why she opted to visit doctors at the NHS.
But little did she know that they would tell her that her symptoms had to do with her brain shrinking. And that they believed was linked to the likes of a Herpes infection. That was not correct as her MRI scans and biopsies proved otherwise.
Her husband revealed how she suddenly fell down to the ground after collapsing. And during that period, she happened to be holding their newborn child.
The incident has left the family shattered as they mourn the loss of a woman that many called beautiful and kind.
33-year-old Anneka Johnstone passed away in November and had been diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma.
One of her most common symptoms was linked to dizziness which many medical experts consider to be a telltale sign of the condition. But the family says that it was always brushed off as being unimportant.
The devastating tumor is one that affects both the brain as well as the spinal cord. It has been well-documented as having devastating consequences. And in this case, took the life of a loving new mother.
