A mother-of-two tragically discovered she had a tumour behind her right eye, which later spread to her liver, after attending her first eye test in over two decades.

Hannah Quigley had 'better than perfect' eyesight her entire life until she began to experience sudden flashes of light in the run up to her daughter's 13th birthday on January 29 last year.

Having recently lost her beloved father Alex McKie, 72, whom she also cared for, to lung cancer only a few weeks prior, the mother-of-two boiled down the issues with her vision to being 'tired and stressed'.

The 39-year-old hadn't been to the opticians in over 24 years, but she quickly booked herself in for an appointment with her local opticians, and was later delivered life-changing news.

Hannah told MailOnline: 'I didn't overthink it and I wasn't worried and I wasn't frightened. I presumed I'd go and have an eye test and be prescribed, you know, some lenses.'
