Emily, from Oundle, Northamptonshire, said her balance deteriorated to the point where she needed to be supported by someone when she went out.She had an MRI scan at a private hospital in March, and was told she had a tumour the size of a golf ball on the left side of her brain, pressing against the nerves controlling hearing and balance.Emily said: ‘The type of tumour I had was a slow-growing one and doctors told me I’d probably had it for about 10 to 12 years.

She saw her GP and had a blood test and an electrocardiogram to monitor the rhythm of her heart – neither of which were abnormal. When her balance worsened and her hearing faded in her left ear, she was told she simply had blocked ears, but decided to take further action.
