Moli Morgan had two seizures while on holiday in Turkey and despite reassurance it was not serious, after she flew home she decided to get it checked out at Royal Shrewsbury revealed she had a life-threatening tumour and the young farmer from Llanerfyl, in Powys, was transferred to a specialist neurology centre at Royal Stoke University Hospital, where it was decided the mass would be removed by an awake craniotomy."It was a massive shock as I had never suffered any symptoms before," said Ms Morgan, who was diagnosed in October 2024. "Everything seemed to happen quickly from being told it was a tumour and what the plan would be next." Talking during surgery Ms Morgan, whose first language is Welsh, was accompanied by a translator during her surgery in December as it was "vital" she spoke throughout the operation to ensure she did not lose the ability to speak both English and Welsh after the tumour was removed, a spokesperson for the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust (UHNM) consultant neurologist, Dr Albanese, said the interpreter, Ben, asked questions in Welsh and Ms Morgan replied in English. She did not remember much about the surgery but said Ben had been "amazing" and "kept her talking" to check she had answered correctly. Dr Albanese described the 22-year-old's recovery as "incredible". 'Back to normal' Ms Morgan had since returned to the ward where she was treated at the UHNM and handed over a £345 cheque after she hosted a concert for the hospital trust's charity. "The care has been amazing and I am so thankful for what everyone did for me."The 22-year-old added that she was "back to normal" and pleased to support the charity.
