Big Brother star Charlie Doherty has revealed she's been diagnosed with a potentially "life-threatening" tumour.The 39 year old TV personality was left in shock after receiving the news, which took her a year to get.
Charlie had been making numerous trips to the doctor and undergoing various tests that "didn't show anything". However, she trusted her instincts, knowing something was "wrong" with her body.The mum-of-one is currently awaiting more information and next steps but is frustrated with how the health services have treated her, feeling "fobbed off" for over a year and being told nothing was wrong.
After a year of pushing for an MRI, Charlie finally received the news that left her extremely worried. She shared: "After I heard the words brain tumour, I pretty much switched off, I couldn't retain anything else they said." Still waiting to hear from the professionals, Charlie has taken matters into her own hands and researched her condition, discovering she likely has three different options.
