A mum suffering from excruciating headaches was shocked to be told she had two tumours - which made her brain look like a "fruit bowl". Doctors initially told Kaylee Crawshaw, 33, her agony could be the product of a trapped nerve. But a CT scan revealed two shadows on her brain - which she was told were likely to be cancerous. Funeral arranger Kaylee compared the tumours - which measured 5cm and 1cm respectively - to a lime and a gooseberry. And she said she referred to her brain as a "fruit bowl" before the larger of the two was removed last week. Kaylee, from Weymouth, Dorset, is now waiting to hear if she will need any further treatment following a biopsy. And she is filling her time by attempting to complete 100 squats a day in November to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. Kaylee said: "It was like I had a fruit bowl in my head. "The larger one measured 5cm - about the size of a lime. That was what surgeons removed. I nicknamed it Mike. "The second one measured about 1cm, which is about the size of a gooseberry. I nicknamed that one Tilly the tiny." Kaylee had a craniotomy at University Hospital Southampton on October 26. And she says her daughter Eleanor, 12, was relieved when her mum came out of surgery.
