Rose Bingham was given just six months to live after being diagnosed with cancer - but four years later she's still going strong after her nine tumours disappeared.

Rose, of Stockport, Cheshire, was with husband Garry visiting their eldest son in the U.S., when she was struck down with agonising head pains. She was given just six months to live after scans found nine tumours on her brain, but after treatment - including radiotherapy, chemotherapy and Herceptin - they almost miraculously disappeared and Rose has enjoyed four years her family feared she'd never see, reported The Daily Mail.

Rose, 55, who had a five hour brain operation in December - yet was out of hospital two days later - said: 'This all started four years ago with breast cancer that spread into my brain, but I had no idea I had it in the first place.

'I know I have a terminal condition and one day I will go, but I will fight it all the way.
