3-Year-Old Girl Diagnosed With Breast Cancer Beats Disease

A three-year-old girl has made a full recovery from breast cancer after becoming the youngest person ever to be diagnosed with the disease, according to a report in The (U.K.) Dailiy Mail.

Aleisha Hunter, from Toronto, Canada, needed a mastectomy after doctors discovered the cause of a lump which appeared on her chest in December 2008 when she was two.

However she is now clear of the disease – and now aged four, has been speaking about what happened to her.

‘I know I had cancer in my booby and that the doctors made it better,’ she said. ‘I know that cancer can make some people go to heaven, but I am better now.’

Her mother, Melanie, said she was ‘stunned’ when she found out the cause of the lump on her daughter’s chest, which she first noticed while drying her after a bath.

‘It was a tiny little hard lump, the size of a pea,’ she said. ‘I thought it was a harmless cyst.’
