A Gladstone teenager has had her last year of school derailed after being diagnosed with a rare cancer that only seven people in the world have.
Lillian Pholi, 17, was diagnosed with Myofibroblastic Sarcoma, an extremely rare form of cancer in her jaw in November.
The Chanel College student’s life was thrown into turmoil when pain in her jaw she thought was from her wisdom teeth turned out to be an aggressive tumour.
“I had liners in to straighten my teeth and I thought it was just my wisdom teeth,” Lillian said.
“I had pain in the right side of my jaw which just kept getting worse and worse.”
