Weronika Somerville suffered a rare complication - unusual retrograde amnesia.

She couldn't recall events or people from her past life.

She had to re-learn everything - starting with primary school maths and English .

After a decade of monitoring, her tumour started to grow slowly and in March last year , she needed surgery.

Weronika wrote down all her banking details and passwords, organised a will, and wrote a letter to her partner for the worst-case scenario.

"I woke up and everyone was there this time around I didn't feel like I had a surgery, I felt like it had a nap," she said. "My family were in pieces the whole time. But I was completely aware and I knew exactly what happened".
