“I lost years of my life” - Woman with missed brain tumour wakes up thinking she’s 28 years younger

Glenn Lilley thought she was 41 not 69 when she woke up after collapsing in 2021.  The now 71 year-old thought her grown up kids were still teenagers and was given a life-limiting prognosis after she was diagnosed with a meningioma.

However, the tumour was originally missed by doctors after in 2017 she began suffering with tinnitus and vertigo. But following a scan, a specialist said there was no cause for concern. She later collapsed at home causing her to temporarily lose her memory, and an MRI scan confirmed a large mass on her brain.
