A mother of two traveled to Turkey for a dental checkup only to discover she had a brain tumor and received a devastating diagnosis . Lisa Robinson, 44, went alone to Antalya on the south coast last month when she thought it was a consultation for a regular cosmetic procedure.
While there, she lost her balance andbegan to pretend she was "drunk". And the dentist called for urgent medical help before she was taken to the hospital. Her doctordiscovered she had a fatal brain tumor, resulting in a 13-hour emergency operation.
According to Mirror Online, she has now received the shocking news that she has "incurable" cancer. Since she returned to the UK, Lisa has discovered that she has stage 4 cancer.
When she started her first life-prolonging radiation treatment, she confirmed it was "incurable but treatable." Lisa from Consette, province said.
"Stage 4. I have no choice but to live each day positively. That's all I can control.
" All I keep thinking is that I can't think about it, I have to live with it: "You were so close to death and you were given a chance, so that chance
``I still have cancer cells in my body. It's my brain, so the treatment is to minimize their size. It is said to be aggressive and proliferating rapidly."
An MRI scan in February showed her glia, a progressive brain tumor the size of a "fist." A blastoma was found. The mother of two then underwent major surgery and had only a 25% chance of survival.
She managed to survive and had most of the growth removed after a surgeon stopped the bleeding in her brain,Chronicle Live reported. But then she received a £55,000 bill from her health insurance company, AXA Partners.
Lisa said last week. I'm her 44 and her life changed in 3 weeks. At first, I thought, "This is a little bit of her OTT." Why should I go to another hospital?
But last night I was told the tumor was stage 4 and incurable.
She added: "My family knew about this while in Turkey, but were told not to disclose it as it might cause me further distress."
