Moira’s family rally round in Emmerdale spoilers

1. Moira is in a state of shock

At last we all know what’s wrong with Moira, and as we feared it’s bad news. The Dingle mum has been diagnosed with a non-cancerous tumour after doctors detected a mass on her brain.

The type of brain tumour that Moira has is a meningioma. It’s the reason she’s been suffering from symptoms such as seizures, erratic outbursts, confusion and memory loss.

As the week begins, Moira is still struggling to come to terms with her illness. She knows it’s going to be a long and difficult road ahead.

Moira meets with her neurosurgeon, who outlines her options for treatment. But what’s already an anxious situation is made worse by her family’s constant interjections.

The surgeon proposes they use a ‘watch and wait’ method to monitor the tumour’s growth. But both Moira and Mack struggle to get their head round this idea.

Will Moira insist on another course of action?
