Girl saves mother with love letters

London: British doctors told Laura Binder, a mother-of-two, that her cancer had spread from her breast to her liver and there was nothing that could be done, the Daily Mail reported.

But Binder's nine-year-old daughter Linzi refused to give up. For next seven months every day Linzi wrote her mother a letter, urging her not to give up the fight.

One read: "You are like the centre of a rose and you smell just like a beautiful red one. You can fight cancer. You can fight it. I love you!"

The single mother, 32, who lives in Norwich city with Linzi and her younger daughter Alicia, said: "I was exhausted from the chemotherapy and I lost all my hair. But her letters gave me the strength to fight on".

She went for a scan at the end of September, expecting to hear that the cancer had spread. But the scan revealed no trace of any tumours.
