A woman was diagnosed with late-stage brain cancer after a bizarre incident on a train, where a piece of luggage fell on her head. Lauren Macpherson (29) was on her way home when a suitcase fell on her. She was taken off the train and immediately rushed to the hospital, fearing the impact might have caused a spinal fracture or a concussion. However, a CT scan revealed a brain tumor, and doctors diagnosed her with brain cancer. Lauren had been experiencing a series of symptoms, such as severe fatigue, memory loss, emotional disturbances, stomach pain, and headaches, but she believed it was related to her ADHD. 'I kept repeating to myself: I just want to live to see my 30s,' Lauren said. Initially, doctors feared the worst and told her before the biopsy that she might not live more than a year, but the results brought a glimmer of hope.
