Teenage girl 19, who thought her watery eye was caused by make-up discovers it is CANCER tumour behind her Nose

When Tasha Jilka began suffering from a watery left eye, she put the strange symptom down to her make-up or the seasonal weather.
But far from being an innocuous allergic reaction to cosmetics, the teenager's bizarre ailment was one which changed her life forever, as she was later diagnosed with cancer.
The 19-year-old's watery eye was caused by a rare cancer tumour called olfactory neuroblastoma at the back of her nose which left doctors eventually having to rebuild her whole face.
Tasha's rare diagnosis was eventually made a year after she first suffered the watery eye, having been missed by doctors and opticians.
Her ordeal began in May 2008, when, aged 16, her symptoms began.
