A woman who was told her symptoms had minor causes is urging young people to persevere when seeking medical help, after learning she had a brain tumour.
Claudia Laird, from Burnley, was training as a nurse when she began experiencing extreme fatigue' and confusion - at one point walking into windows, thinking they were doors.

“I used to sleep in until about 10 or 11 o’clock, and I remember my friends calling me lazy at the time," she said.

Claudia’s family contacted the GP who once again put it down to gastroenteritis.
By now convinced that something was deeply wrong, Claudia asked for a brain scan - but was refused.
