Girl, 11, called a 'beautiful angel' dies despite hopes to beat cancer by Christmas

Tributes have poured in for an 11-year-old schoolgirl, called a "beautiful angel" who has died from cancer after it cruelly spread this month with doctors having hoped it would be gone by Christmas.

Libby Jones had courageously fought for the past twelve months an aggressive cancer but when it appeared she was winning the battle she suffered a set back and died on August 24, reported CoventryLive.

She underwent radiotherapy, chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, as well as a seven-hour operation to remove the main tumour in her ribs. The treatment had aimed to help stop the cancer in her knees, hips, spine, shoulders, jaw and under her skull.
