'It's crazy, she can tell you anything that happened before her first operation, but she couldn't tell you what she had for dinner two hours ago'
A Scots mum has lost her short-term memory after surgery to remove a brain tumour that she originally thought was a migraine. Gillian Wilson, 53, originally believed her pounding headaches were a result of stress.
Since then, she has undergone countless surgeries, including the removal of her pituitary gland, and a course of radiotherapy that saw her lose her hair. The removal of the pituitary gland led to a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. In the years since, she has raised thousands of pounds for charity, inspired by her mum's determination to live life to the full. The devoted daughter, who has just completed the Kiltwalk to raise more cash for Brain Tumour Research, wants others to avoid going through her mum's own battle to survive.
