Doctors in South Carolina discovered a child with a cancerous tumor in late February.  Since then the toddler has undergone chemotherapy in the hope that it could one day be removed.

And now the family received news that seemed too good to be true.

The tumor disappeared..

With bright eyes and a sweet smile, there's only one thing about 2-year-old Natasha Hill that shows she's fought a tough battle the past three months.

"That's the only tell-tale sign you can tell that she's sick, is the lack of  her hair," Bonnie Hill, Natasha's mother said.

When doctors diagnosed her daughter with a cancerous tumor, like many parents in her position, Bonnie Hill prayed for the best, but worried.

Doctors prescribed six rounds of chemotherapy with the hope it would shrink the tumor down to an operable size.

Her brothers' elementary school started a fundraiser for her, the Hill's church pitched in too.

By the afternoon, the little girl had already gone through a biopsy, a bone marrow test and two chemotherapy treatments.

Bonnie was simply waiting on a phone call to hear what was next.    

"They called me back this afternoon and told me. The tumor was gone," Bonnie said.

She's still trying to find the words to express her relief.

"It was like, I didn't know what to say next. It was like, cool, awesome! I know I had 50 million questions, but the only thing i had in my head, was cool!" Bonnie said.

Natasha isn't cured just yet.  Doctors want her to finish the chemotherapy rounds and her health will have to be monitored.
