8-year-old Chrissy Turner has a rare form of breast cancer and is recovering from a double mastectomy which will (hopefully) wipe out her cancer. World over, no one her age has ever undergone such a surgery before.

In medical literature, there is no evidence of anyone as young as this adorable American girl to get a diagnosis of secretory breast carcinoma, which affects less than 1 in 1 million people and accounts for less than 1 per cent of all breast cancer cases.
