General
SURGERY
In May 2007 she was diagnosed with a tumour in her skull, which led to her undergoing surgery. A team of neurosurgeons and plastic surgeons spent eight hours removing the tumour from the top and front of her skull. Bone was grafted from the top layer of the back of her skull, and two ribs were used to close the hole left by the tumour. She left hospital after a week and was back training seven months later.
