  	Woman, 27, who beat brain cancer twice vows to fight on despite being given months to live Brain tumour has returned for a third time - and surgeons are unable to operate Despite bleak prognosis, Lyndsey refuses to give up hope By CLAIRE BATES PUBLISHED: 11:52, 30 July 2012 | UPDATED: 00:32, 31 July 2012 Lyndsey Roughton is battling a third brain tumour. She hopes to travel abroad to Vietnam A woman who beat two brain tumours while raising thousands of pounds for charity has vowed to fight on - after she was told she has just months to live. Lyndsey Roughton, 27, was twice given the all-clear - but her brain tumour has returned more aggressively than before - and surgeons are unable to operate. Doctors say she has between just two months and two years to live but despite her bleak prognosis, Lyndsey refuses to give up hope. She said: 'I don't really listen to what they say. 'They told me that the first two tumours were incurable but I got rid of them so I'm hoping to prove them wrong again.' The DJ manager from Manchester has vowed to continue her work to raise cash for The Christie, where she is undergoing chemotherapy. She has raised thousands of pounds through charity events and took part in the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride. Lyndsey first fell ill in autumn 2009 when she started suffering from severe headaches and blurred vision. At first she put her symptoms down to her hectic lifestyle but a scan revealed a brain tumour. Ms Roughton responded well to treatment at The Christie and thought her life was back on track. However, in 2010 she was struck down by a second brain tumour. The doctors couldn't remove the whole growth so she then underwent radiotherapy. Lyndsey bought a dark wig after losing much of her hair around four weeks into the treatment. She wrote on her website: 'I knew I just had to get on with it as there was nothing I could do.'

In April doctors told her the cancer had returned - and this time it was terminal. She was diagnosed with a grave IV glioblastoma, which is the most aggressive. Lyndsey said: 'The doctors have to tell you the worst and I'm very much about thinking positively.

'A few weeks before I was due to go I found out about my third tumour so it meant I couldn't go - I have to believe that I'm going to beat it and will spend next summer in Ibiza.' Doctors said trying to remove the tumour this time would negatively effect Lyndsey's quality of life. Instead she is currently undergoing chemotherapy. The average life expectancy for someone with a glioblastoma is one year. Around six per cent are alive five years after diagnosis. Lyndsey said her dream is to go to Thailand and Vietnam and her friends and family want to raise £10,000 to send her there. To find out more go to www.lynz-mybraintumour.org.uk
