A five-year-old British girl was living a normal life till she started complaining of a headache, which only became worse with time. A visit to the doctor got her a paracetamol prescription—but later she was diagnosed with an untreatable brain tumour.
Rosie Hassall’s parents said she began having a pain in her forehead late last year. Initially, they ignored it, thinking it was routine, but they soon noticed her left eye appeared delayed and booked an optician's and a doctor's appointment. When neither found anything wrong, she was given medicine. But slowly, Rosie's headaches worsened to the point that it became painful for her to laugh, sneeze, or even cry.
She was eventually referred for an MRI, which revealed a tumour on her brain known as a pediatric bithalamic glioma – a rare genetic abnormality.
