Watch this brave woman reveal how a bad headache turned out to be grade four brain cancer.
Sophie Clibborn, from Southbridge, New Zealand, had been to her graduation when she started to experience a headache that got progressively worse and left her unconscious.
After she was rushed to hospital, Sophie underwent a high risk emergency brain surgery to remove a tumour, with her parents fearing for her life.
Sophie explained the high risk of the operation and how her parents were told to say goodbye in case she did not wake or if she became paralysed after.
However, the teenager defied the odds and woke up from her coma a day early and was discharged just three days after her surgery.
