Teen who had miracle recovery from terminal cancer says 'sorry for not dying' mirror.co.uk

A young terminal cancer sufferer given just days to live has offered to refund £3,000 in funeral donations after a miracle all-clear – and even APOLOGISED for not dying. Xsara Sanderson was given the devastating news that she had had stage 4 Hodgkin lymphoma last July after suffering from symptoms including chest and neck pain and rapid weightloss. After gruelling cycles of chemotherapy, Xsara, then 19, decided to stop treatment in November despite doctors saying she could have as little as a matter of days to live. However some so-called friends branded her decision to turn her back on chemo 'selfish' and stopped talking to her – and still don't. Given the bleak diagnosis, a family friend set up a GoFundMe page to ensure Xsara got the funeral she had planned for – with £3,130 being raised in just two months. However during a scan earlier this month doctors were baffled to discover no sign of any tumours – and declared former phone specialist Xsara was cancer free.
