Megan to receive hero’s welcome on US return

A 4-YEAR-OLD Cork girl will receive a rapturous welcome when she arrives back in Ireland tomorrow morning after spending nine months in the US battling a rare brain tumour.

Megan Malone from Kilnamartyra near Macroom was diagnosed with the cancerous tumour last October and given just weeks to live.

Megan’s parents, however, refused to accept this and made the difficult decision to stop their daughter’s treatment in Dublin and take her to New York.
