A FOUR-YEAR-OLD girl who has beaten cancer despite being given no chance of survival in Ireland has marked her final day of treatment by ringing a special bell at a Boston Hospital.

A FOUR-year-old Cork girl who has spent the past nine months battling a brain tumour will have the special honour of ringing the bell at New York’s Presbyterian Children’s Hospital, after she finishes her final course of radiotherapy tomorrow.

THE COST of treating a 4-year-old Co Cork girl for a rare cancerous brain tumour has been estimated at over €1 million though the final figure is expected to be around €820,000 following negotiations.

A CORK toddler who was given just weeks to live last October continues to beat the odds and amaze her doctors after an MRI scan revealed that the cancer in her brain has almost completely disappeared.

THE parents of a Cork toddler, undergoing specialist treatment in New York for a brain tumour, say their wish for 2011 is their brave daughter will start playschool in September, free from disease.
