Mel Kelly was initially misdiagnosed with a sinus infection
A 22-year-old woman was told to "go to hospital now" by a concerned eye doctor after returning home from her holiday with an "pulsing" headache which turned out to be cancer. Mel Kelly was living an active life as a self-employed sports coach and karate teacher with a black belt when she began suffering with migraines in September and was given medication for a sinus infection to treat it.
"It was like a pulsing in my head, like a pressure. I didn't know what to do because no one was listening to me, the doctors weren't listening to me. They just kept passing it off as different things. She was told by the eye doctor, "it's been left too long, you need to go to the hospital now" and was rushed to Arrowe Park Hospital by her mum, where she had a CT scan and was told she wouldn't be going home that night. Mel was horrified to learn that she had been misdiagnosed and did in fact have a brain tumour after all.
Christmas Day was the first time she was able to shower after surgery but she was too tired to leave the hospital and see her family. Mel is now undergoing routine scans along with eye tests every couple of months and is currently on high alert after recently going to hospital with some more swelling in her head due to the way her skull is healing around the titanium plates put in place.
