Wide of Lai Thi Dao with family and doctor STORYLINE: A Vietnamese girl with a 16-pound (7.2 kilogram) facial tumour is in the US city of Miami awaiting surgery that will restore her ability to eat and speak. Fifteen-year-old Lai Thi Dao suffers from a Schwannoma tumour that has been growing since she was three. The tumour has severely disfigured her face and kept her from ever attending school. Doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital say the tumour threatens to suffocate Lai. They will remove the tumour in a 10-hour surgery on 29 April. Schwannoma tumours are usually benign. Lai's doctors say the size of her tumour is extremely rare, but it probably won't return once it's removed. Lai hopes to finally attend school once she recovers and returns to Vietnam. The International Kids Fund is seeking donations to fund Lai's surgery.
