A heartbroken mum has been given months to live after a brain tumour was misdiagnosed as a 'sinus infection'. Jennifer Roscoe's migraines began in early 2019 along with heavy bouts of sickness but doctors believed she had simply been suffering from a sinus infection.

The mother-of-two young children, from Merseyside, was given beta blockers to prevent the migraines but she was so ill with side effects from the tablets that she was unable to continue working as a pharmacy technician.

The left side of Jennifer's body went completely numb in June 2019 and she started vomiting and mentioned that her vision was blurred, the Mirror reports.

Her worried husband, David rushed her to Whiston Hospital where doctors gave her an MRI scan which confirmed that was she was suffering from a brain tumour. “When I was told, I actually felt relief because I knew I hadn’t been making it all up," Jennifer said."I knew so little about brain tumours that it didn’t occur to me that I had cancer.
