This shy teenager has been suffering with an eye tumour her whole life - which doctors told her can't be cured. Sophia Savillaga, 16, was born with a blood-shot left retina that started to swell when she was just seven-months-old. The youngster complained that her eye hurt and slowly she lost her sight with the large red tumour getting bigger. Sophia and mother Erlinda, a washer woman, visited a local doctor in Butuan, Philippines, four years ago - but she said he told them to ''go home because she can't be cured''. Since then, the growth in Sophia's left eye has grown to be bigger than a tennis ball.
