Hettie Galway , from Huyton in Merseyside , first noticed she was having severe headaches and was becoming forgetful .

Despite numerous visits to her GP , she said was told by doctors her symptoms were `` just migraines '' , the Liverpool Echo reports .
However when the pain worsened the mum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and three-year-old Epona , sought another opinion .
And it was then she was given the tragic diagnosis after a CT and MRI scan that she had a Grade 3 brain tumour .
Following the devastating diagnosis , the then 25-year-old underwent operations , a biopsy , chemotherapy and radiotherapy .
But in August of this year , a routine check revealed a new and aggressive tumour was growing on her brain stem .
And the mum-of-two was recently told , alongside her loved ones , that `` nothing could be done @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to six months to live .
