A 'selfless' teenager has tragically died only days after her 19th birthday from a cancerous tumour which spread to her lungs and spine. Daniela Brandao first went to the doctors last September with complaints of an excruciating sore pain that ran down her right side and had progressed to her front and back.
An emergency scan revealed she had a 10cm tumour in her liver but the teen was reassured it could be removed and would be able to live out the rest of her life as normal. It wasn't until after the surgery she received the devastating news her cancer had spread to her lungs and spine, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Daniela remained positive as she battled through her heartbreaking journey but she sadly passed away six days after turning 19 on January 17.
