A 'beautiful' teenager died just weeks after discovering she had cancer. Daniela Brandao only discovered she had a tumour on her liver in September last year.
But despite hopes surgery would cure the disease, she passed away earlier this month after the cancer spread. Now tributes have been paid to the woman with a "contagious laugh" who shone a light on those around her.
Daniela saw the doctor in September when she started having excruciating pains down her right side which spread to her front and back. Medics carried out an emergency scan and it was discovered that she had a 10cm tumour in her liver.
