This Woman Had Brain Surgery While Awake – Now She Has A ‘Miracle Baby’

Gaffney-Lang was taken to York General Hospital. As it was her first seizure, doctors didn’t do any tests but kept her under observation. They said it might have been caused by being up late and tired, or blood sugars. She was advised to see her own GP who reassured her that, at her age and health, it was unlikely to be anything serious and referred her to Salford Royal Hospital. But when a neurologist sent her for an MRI scan, it came back showing a brain tumour.
