SCHICKSALE - Bei einem routinemässigen Sehtest entdecken Ärzte einen Hirntumor bei der 9-jährigen Maddie
Julie Fowler described the day her daughter's tumour was discovered as her "worst fear coming true". PA REAL LIFE *** Mum relives the horror of a routine eye test revealing that her daughters cloudy vision
was due to a brain tumour
By Jessica Frank-Keyes, PA Real Life
A devoted mum relived her worst day ever when instead of taking her daughter Christmas
shopping, she found herself in the local eye hospital being told her nine-year-olds cloudy
vision was because of a brain tumour.
Little Madison Fowler, of Kingshurst, Birmingham, needed two operations lasting a total of
18 hours to remove a ping pong ball-sized tumour growing behind her left eye, after a
trainee optician noticed an anomaly during her eye test.
Now Julie Fowler, 40, who also has sons Rhys, 16, and Keane, 13, with her roofer husband,
Josh, 37, is urging parents to make sure their children have regular tests, saying: Its so
important to get routine eye checks and if you do suffer from headaches, just try and take it
further.
I know schools check childrens eyes in reception, but I do think people dont bother as
much as they get older.
It takes minutes to go and get your kids eyes checked its really important.
Maddie didnt have really bad headaches and you would think with something as serious as
a brain tumour that you would be really ill and unwell.
You just dont expect anything like that at all.
Maddie who like her brothers wears spectacles first complained of headaches in March
2020, but the opticians were closed because of the first Covid -19 lockdown, so Julie could
not get her eyes tested.
Thinking it might be stress, when the pain persisted, in May Julie took her to the local walkin centre, where she was given blood tests and prescribed sinus sprays.
