Young mum with incurable brain tumour determined to make more memories with daughter

A young mum who received a devastating terminal brain tumour diagnosis is now in a race against time to make as many memories with her baby daughter after doctors can't determine her life expectancy.

Reagan Kirkpatrick's life was changed forever when she was given the heart breaking news last July that she had an incurable Grade 4 diffuse midline glioma brain tumour.

The brave 22-year-old mum from Annitsford, North Tyneside, said she had been suffering from headaches for weeks in the run up to her shock diagnosis, the Chronicle Live reports.

Reagan said: "It all started in June when I began to get headaches and was really tired all of the time. "I went to the doctors and they said it was due to stress and gave me some tablets to help with them." However, as time went on Reagan's headaches became so severe that she wasn't fit enough to work but all blood tests failed to identify the cause of the problem.
