A MUM to twin baby daughters is facing a heart-breaking decision after both were diagnosed with leukaemia, but can only afford to treat one.
Song Lihua, 40, gave birth to two girls Ma Yu and Ma Rui 11 months ago in east China but doctors have now told her they are critically ill.
She has been told she needs 600,000 yuan (£67,560) to for the treatment that they need.
Song and her partner Ma Xinqiang have already sold their house for 300,000 yuan (£33,790) but are now desperate to raise the remaining money.
Ms Song told the MailOnline: “Some people told me to give up on one of them, others suggested I should let them draw the lots. But I have to save them both.
“If I did let one go, I would not be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.”
Both babies were healthy when they were born on November 23 last year in the Xinxing Village of Daxing Town.
But in June Ma Rui was taken to hospital with a high fever where she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, which affects the white blood cells and needed treatment immediately.
Things got worse though when doctors said they should also check her twin and she was found to also have the same type of blood cancer.
Song explained that the doctors had told her the two girls were not born with the illness but it had been caused by their living conditions.
The mum has now been told the daughters’ condition is unstable and she hopes to take them to Beijing for treatment.

She said she would try her best to raise the funds needed.
Song told the news site: “The doctor said if they don’t have transplants, the cost would be 600,000 yuan (£67, 560) for two; but if they have transplants, it will cost 800,000 to one million yuan (£90,080 to £112,600) each.”
She added: “I hope the public could help me and my family to overcome the difficulties.
“Both babies need to be saved. I can’t prefer one to the other.”

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
