EastEnders: Lola has a brain tumour

Lola was diagnosed with a brain tumour after having a seizure at Lexi’s pageant.

She collapsed in the bathroom and was taken to hospital after Jay and Ben found her on the floor.

After undergoing tests, it was revealed that she had a brain tumour.

Unfortunately, surgery to remove the tumour was unsuccessful.

Surgeons were only able to debulk the tumour.

This meant that it was an incurable type of cancer.

Lola realised at this point that she was going to die.
