Emma Webster, 29, from Scotland, began suffering from severe toothaches in 2018. Root canal treatment was applied to Webster, who went to the dentist because of toothache. The intense pain he suffered after the surgery never stopped. Soon after, she began medication because doctors thought she had nerve damage. In 2019, the pain spread to his entire face and his vision began to blur. For these reasons, Emma, who underwent an MRI scan, learned that she had a brain tumor hidden behind her right eye.
He was ready to plan his funeral
After the tests, Emma, who was in the shock of her life, said that as a result of these tests, she only thought about what her son would do without him and said, “I was ready to start planning my funeral.” However, it was learned that the brain tumor was benign, that is, not cancerous. While this was good news, it did not please Emma as her family had multiple deaths from brain tumors. She thought she would be like her grandmother, who died of a brain tumor.
PAIN CONTINUED FOR 8 MONTHS
Emma had surgery in March 2019 in which 70 percent of the tumor was removed. After the surgery, she was left with balance problems and debilitating headaches. Due to these problems, she moved with her family. His pain continued for 8 months after the operation. Now Emma undergoes annual scans to check for tumor growth.

Emma is expecting a second child in October 2022. “I can’t believe the stage I’ve reached anymore, I don’t have to be in the hospital all the time. We got our new house, I’m getting married two years later and expecting my second child. Emma’s toothaches still continue.
