Woman's brain tumour symptoms blamed on "being a fresher"
A woman was diagnosed with a brain tumour after her symptoms were blamed on being a "fresher" and "drinking too much".
Lucy Younger, 24, started experiencing bizarre symptoms before she started university such as zoning out, smelling bacon and frequent déjà vu.
Her symptoms got worse at university but doctors dismissed her symptoms and told her she was "drinking too much" and needed to "slow down".
Lucy spent the next year going back and forth to the GP but was dismissed and given antidepressants.
After finally being referred, a CT scan revealed a benign brain tumour and Lucy had to undergo a craniotomy to remove the mass.
She hopes to help others to push to get a diagnosis to catch brain tumours early.
