A dad-of-four who thought he was suffering from long covid had his world 'turned upside down' when doctors found he actually had a deadly brain tumour.
Dave Stubbs, 43, caught coronavirus last June when he experienced what felt like an 'explosion' in his head while self-isolating.
After visiting his GP and being referred for an emergency head CT, medics discovered the cancer in his brain - which if not removed could have left him just weeks from death.
