By Emma Innes PUBLISHED: 05:13 EST, 5 August 2013 | UPDATED: 06:49 EST, 5 August 2013 A six-year-old girl has made a remarkable recovery after surgeons cut off her arm to remove a cancerous tumour - before successfully sewing it back on. Incredibly, after Bethan Evans’ left arm was ‘temporarily’ amputated it was driven three miles to another hospital where specialists treated the golf ball-sized tumour with high-doses of radiation. A team of 10 medics then sewed her arm - which had been cut off at the shoulder - back on again at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Birmingham.
