I was diagnosed with a brain tumour after doctors dismissed it as heatstroke
Turkish doctors told her it was probably down to heatstroke after spending too much time in the 30°C sun during their week-long trip.
But when she returned to the UK the following day, Moli's sister, a nurse, urged her to go to hospital for a checkup.
As the farmer from Llanerfyl, in Powys, Wales felt 'completely fine', she was shocked to learn that she had a life-threatening 4cm brain tumour on the left side of her head.
'I had no real warning signs before or during the holiday,' says Moli. 'I had never suffered any symptoms before.'
The holiday itself was 'lovely', and she and her boyfriend of six years, Oli, 22, spent the week relaxing and visiting the hotel's water park.
It wasn't until the last night that things took a turn for the worse when, apparently out of of the blue, Moli had a seizure at around 1am followed by another 20 minutes later.
'My boyfriend called the medics and they had a doctor on site at the hotel who told me it was probably just heatstroke,' she recalled.
'We had been in the sun all day and I hadn't drank much water, so I sort of thought nothing more of it and we flew home the next evening.'
Moli followed her sister's advice 'to be on the safe side' and was given a CT and MRI scan at Royal Shrewsbury Hospital, but 'couldn't believe it' when doctors broke the news of the tumour.
She says: 'I do get a couple of migraines a year, but obviously that can be normal. It just came as such a massive shock.'
After being kept in for four days having anti-seizure tablets, Moli was allowed to return home. However, it wasn't long before she was transferred to a specialist neurology centre at Royal Stoke University Hospital to have the mass removed in an awake craniotomy.
While this would be a daunting prospect for many, she says: 'I didn't even really think about it, I just thought do whatever you need to do.'
During the operation, she had to repeat words back in both Welsh in English to make sure the surgery didn't impact her ability to speak her first language, which is Welsh.
'There was a couple of times I didn't get it right, so they knew that was the part affecting my language and not to interfere there,' adds Moli. 'It's mind-blowing what they can do really.'
The four-hour procedure – which left the 22-year-old with 28 staples in her head – thankfully proved a success, and further tests showed the tumour was benign and non-cancerous.
Six months on, Moli is still being monitored, but is now back helping out on the family farm, and largely 'back to normal'.
To thank the medics who saved her life, she and her mother, Carol, presented a cheque for £345 to Ward 228 and members of the UHNM Charity team, which they raised through a carol singing night organised by The Wales Federation of Young Farmers. More Trending
'It was amazing to see Moli and her mum,' said Dr Erminia Albanese. 'Her recovery has been incredible, and it's great to see her doing well after the surgery.'
According to the NHS, symptoms of a brain tumour vary depending on the exact part of the brain affected.
Common symptoms include headaches, seizures, persistently feeling sick, vomiting and drowsiness, mental or behavioural changes – such as memory problems or changes in personality – progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, and vision or speech problems.

The NHS recommends seeing a GP if you have these types of symptoms, particularly if you have a headache that feels different from the type of headache you usually get, or if headaches are getting worse.

'I signed up for a cancer fundraiser bike ride - without a bike'
A man organised a 85-mile charity bike ride for his niece - before remembering he did not actually own a said the idea was "pulled out of nowhere" because he was so keen to help raise funds for his Eliyah, from Nottingham, was diagnosed with leukaemia on 28 April in what her family describe as a "massive shock".After buying a second-hand bike from social media, Callum admitted his main training for the ride from the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham to Skegness on 1 August was commuting to his job in Derby. The 28-year-old, from Sandiacre, Derbyshire, said: "She is the sassiest, most talkative four-year-old you could imagine. You can hold a conversation with her for 10 minutes and she won't stop talking and talking."She was into her horses and into her dancing. She was always on the go but then the diagnosis came almost overnight."Other members of the family began to suggest fundraising ideas so Callum wanted to join in."I just pulled the idea out of nowhere and everyone really went for it," he said."Then I realised I didn't actually own a bike, so I had to go social media and buy one second-hand. Hopefully it will do the job."I work in Derby so going there from home is the main training and that's going OK but the heat doesn't make it easy." Eliyah's grandmother Kelly, 45, from Wollaton, Nottinghamshire, said the diagnosis came out of the blue after she became lethargic and had nose bleeds. "You just don't expect it," she said. "You just don't expect to be told that your four-year-old granddaughter has got cancer, it was a massive shock."But we've had amazing support, the community has really come forward, we've had so many people offer support and this is so important."She's just started a new chemotherapy treatment as part of her two-year programme but hopefully she'll soon be back to the sassy girl we know."Callum said the original idea was "just me and the road" but he is being joined by a friend and the family has organised a welcoming said: "What would be really great is if Eliyah could be there herself - that's what would really make it extra special."

Minimum price for alcohol units 'broadly positive' in Wales, report
A 50p minimum unit price for alcohol came into force in Wales in March 2020. Ms Murphy said that Welsh Ministers have reviewed all the evidence presented a recent operation and effect report and consider that the evidence suggests minimum pricing for alcohol has contributed towards its intended policy objectives - to target low priced drinks and those who consume them in large quantities. She said: "Overall, the operation and effect of minimum unit pricing has been broadly positive." Following the operation and effect report the Welsh Government has commissioned Sheffield Addictions Research Group at the University of Sheffield to examine this issue. She said: "Its findings, together with the evidence in the operation and effect report, will help inform the development of a proposal about the future of the minimum unit pricing provisions, which will be subject to a further public consultation. "Minimum pricing for alcohol is one of a wide range of health policies adopted by the Welsh Government to help tackle inequality and improve health outcomes. It is not designed to work in isolation, and we will continue to support our broad work in the substance misuse area, targeted towards prevention, support and recovery and tackling availability."

Welsh farmers urged to protect livestock against bluetongue
Welsh farmers are being urged to vaccinate their livestock to protect against a potentially devastating disease. The warning comes from Angus Wyse, official veterinary officer for the NSA Wales & Border Ram Sales, who says it's not if, but when, bluetongue comes to Wales. Bluetongue is a viral disease spread by biting midges that can cause significant losses in livestock, particularly sheep. Mr Wyse said: "When there is a disease that can cause you 70 per cent mortality in your sheep and you can prevent it with one dose of vaccine, it just seems a no-brainer as an insurance policy. "In Holland it was so bad that the dead stock disposal services couldn't cope and there were piles of carcasses lying on farms. "It will come in Wales. "Midges aren't going to respect the border. "It will come through midge activity, but movement restriction may prevent it moving further into Wales as quickly." Bluetongue virus serotype 3 (BTV-3) has been identified as a particular threat, with Mr Wyse noting its severe effects in sheep and high milk losses in cattle. He said: "BTV-3 doesn't seem to be so severe in cattle, although it does carry a very high milk drop which in the intensive dairy industry is the biggest worry. "It also seems to cause quite a bit of mortality in young calves because they are more susceptible. "We're seeing some 50 per cent milk drops in cows and they're not returning to full production in that lactation." He also raised concerns about the ability of testing facilities to cope with a sudden surge in demand, especially during the peak breeding season. The only UK laboratory able to test for the disease, located at Pirbright, can process only a few hundred samples per week. Movement restrictions require a clear test within seven days of moving sheep, with each test costing around £70. Mr Wyse said: "I'm concerned that the fact that Wales isn't a restricted area is giving farmers a false sense of security. "Farmers are taking comfort in feeling they are not at risk." He urged immediate action. He said: "Vaccinate now, before you have a problem. "Get your rams vaccinated now, so that they are covered well before the tupping period. "And also with any early lambing ewes, you need to be thinking about it now so that you are trying not to vaccinate over the tupping period. "The price isn't prohibitive in relation to stock values at present. "With most vaccines available, sheep only need the one dose but cattle need two doses three weeks apart." Bluetongue is typically seasonal, but milder weather could extend the risk into late autumn. The disease causes circulatory failure, pulmonary oedema, and organ damage due to reduced oxygen transport in the bloodstream. While bluetongue cannot be transmitted directly between animals, midges can carry the virus from one infected animal to another. The NSA Wales and Border Ram Sales will be holding two early sales this year to accommodate movement restrictions. The first sale will take place in Brecon on August 4, followed by a second in Hereford on August 5.
