The mum-of-two suffered left-sided paralysis below the waist as well as losing the function of her left hand
A Scots mum who was left paralysed by an orange-sized brain tumour says she feels like a prisoner after being ‘trapped in her bedroom’ for years. Mary Frances Bradley claims that her North Ayrshire Council home is too small for her wheelchair to move around and has to be carried from room to room by her husband Thomas.
“I’ve been trapped in my bedroom for years. I’ve had five nervous breakdowns and over the last year, my husband has had three strokes which we think is because of the stress of it all. I feel like I’ve been passed from pillar to post by the council. Mary told how her world turned upside down in June 2013 after a severe headache resulted in her passing out at her family home. She was rushed to hospital where medics found the large tumour.
“They did a scan and found a mass on my brain the size of an orange. They said I needed emergency surgery at the Southern General to have the brain tumour removed. But I’ve been left paralysed from the waist down and my left hand is deformed.”
