Christmas miracle! 11-year-old girl's inoperable brain tumor vanishes without explanation three months after diagnosis
Roxli Doss, 11, was diagnosed with an incurable tumor, leaving her family devastated beyond words. Shockingly, the family discovered three months later that the deadly tumor inside her had disappeared inexplicably. The teenager was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) in June this year, per local TV station KVUE.
According to Doss' GoFundMe page, the tumor was lodged “in the back of her brain and pushing her spinal cord. She had headaches for a couple weeks and was feeling sick.”
Speaking to KVUE, Dr. Virginia Harrod from Dell Children's Medical Center, where Roxli was being treated, said her condition was “very rare … It is a devastating disease. You have decreased the ability to swallow, sometimes vision loss, decreased ability to talk, eventually difficulty with breathing.”
