Tonight 11 year old Katarina Ishim is on her way to a hospital in Tennessee - where she will receive lifesaving surgery. Arrangements were worked out through the Gift of Life programme and a Christian missionary group.
She left Belize this morning on a United Airlines flight.
As we've reported, the 11 year old from San Pablo in the Stann Creek district has a massive tumor growing on her face.
The tumor started growing in 2010 and then it was surgically removed in August of 2011. It started growing back aggressively this year - and has to remove immediately.
