The negligence of doctors in mistaking a serious disease like brain tumor for migraine headache changed the life of a 25 year old woman. When Tia Bradbury, who lives in England, was five months pregnant, she was suffering from constant headaches and problems like ‘blinking’ in the eyes. But the doctors ignored it considering it to be a minor migraine. The problem, which started in December 2023, became serious by April 2024, when Tia completely lost the vision in her left eye. Despite this, doctors continued giving migraine medicines. Ultimately Tia repeatedly pleaded with the doctors and insisted on getting an MRI scan done. The investigation revealed that there was a 3 cm tumor in his brain, which was putting pressure on the nerve of his left eye.
According to the Daily Mail report, Tia said that the headache was so severe that it was difficult to get up from the bed. Doctors didn’t take me seriously because I was small. If I had not believed in myself and fought with the doctors, I might not have been alive today. Tia’s tumor was successfully removed after a 12-hour surgery in May 2024. After this his eyesight returned and today he is completely free from migraine and pain.

However, the timing of the surgery was emotionally challenging for him. His two-year-old daughter saw him in the hospital for a long time and was not even allowed to touch her after the surgery. “The scariest thing was that I felt like I was leaving my daughter and my family. Now Tia advises others not to ignore their body’s signals and to be determined to get their point across to doctors. He said that life is very short and precious. Be vigilant about your health and don’t hesitate to seek a second opinion if needed.
