Teenager tells brain surgeon before operation: 'If I don't make it, thanks for trying' | ITV News

When teenager Beth McKenzie went to the opticians suffering from headaches and eye pain, she never would have imagined she had a brain tumour.

At 15-years-old, Beth was quickly admitted to the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, where surgeons told her she had a tumour the size of an orange and that they would have to remove it.

Neurosurgeon Roddy O’Kane explained to Beth that it would be a high-risk surgery due to the growth's proximity to critical blood vessels in the brain.

Despite the risk to her life, Beth’s concern was for the team trying to save her, and so she wrote them notes ahead of the surgery.
