A 19-year-old trainee nurse is battling inoperable brain cancer after two GPs dismissed a tumour behind her eye - as STRESS.

Charlotte Taylor saw the doctors after complaining of headaches and struggling to read her text messages but on each ocassion she was prescribed beta blockers.

When her symptoms deteriorated she paid £25 for an eye test at Boots opticians and was diagnosed with papilledema - swelling on her optic nerve.
