For many years, Trisha had suffered severe migraines from time to time. So when they hit her in the week before her wedding, she was upset but not surprised. A doctor at an urgent care clinic gave her medication for pain and stress.
But on May 15, the day of the wedding, the pain in her head was like nothing she’d experienced before. She could hardly stand before finally making it to the ceremony, where she managed to smile and take her vows.
Just moments after walking down the aisle, though, Trisha was rushed to the hospital. Within 48 hours, she had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Ten days later, after a six-hour surgery that could not remove the entire tumor, Trisha fell into a coma from which she never emerged.
Trisha Duguay died four months after marrying Jim, and 56 days after being taken off life support.

Yes truly terrible. I cant imagine the heartache her husband and family feels... just when their new life was going to begin together. To never have children with her and enjoy their marriage.. so upsetting

As a doctor, the term 'the worst headache of my life' means intracranial bleed until proven otherwise...if shewas in my ER, she would have got a CT scan and a lumbar puncture. Would have have saved here.....who knows. Very sad.

Seriously? No one ever did a scan of someone with severe migraines???? I used to get migraines and they sent me for an MRI just to be sure. Shows that you can't just blame stress for things. If migraines change in any way, you're supposed to see an MD because it could be something else.

You are right, but we dont know if she ever brought these changes up with her doc. For migranes you write a script for a triptan and re-eval, if she never went back for the re-evaluation...or just never told her doc that things were getting worse, she wouldnt have gotten a scan.
