Chinese mother of two disfigured by horrific tumours growing on her face has been told by doctors she will make a full recovery after the government said it would foot the bill for her surgery.
Li Hongfang, 40, was shunned in public after a rare type of bone cancer caused tissue to grow under her skin, distorting her features beyond recognition.
Ms Hongfang endured the condition, known as Chordoma, for more than a decade because she had no money to pay for the £60,000 (600,000 yuan) surgery. But after her plight touched hearts around the world earlier this month, shaming the country's ailing health service on a global stage, the Communist government gave doctors all the money they needed to save her.
Wishing her a quick recovery!
