SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Given the aggressive cancer tumour located at her brain stem, little E should have died within weeks of her birth. Instead, the girl, who is now two years old, is not just alive but also well and behaving like any other toddler her age.

Doctors at the National University Hospital (NUH) say she is truly a miracle baby.
