A 12-year-old girl, who has been fighting cancer for five years, has turned her harrowing story into an inspiration for thousands of young girls who tune into the teen's weekly make-up tutorials.
Talia Joy Castellano has over 100,000 subscribers on her You Tube page as she shares expert makeup tutorials, where she uses makeup as a 'wig' and confidence booster.
Talia made a shocking revelation recently
at her last uploaded video blog announcing she now has 'neuroblastoma and leukaemia at the same time'. Although she says 'the chances of surviving are fewer than surviving,' she will continue her videos 'for as long as I can.' She was first diagnosed of stage four neuroblastoma cancer, a tumour that develops from nerve tissue in infants and children, on Valentine's Day in 2007. But with this latest development, the kid star has very slim option of treatment and survival; She could undergo a bone marrow transplant, however the surgery would take a considerable toll on her body because she has had 'so many surgeries already.

She admits in her video blog that she is leaning towards not having the
transplant, which means she will only have four months to one year to live.
'I'm going to decide whether or not I want to
do the bone marrow transplant, or whether or not I just don't do it and live
the time I have remaining,' she says.
