"My child being treated for Osteosarcoma"

In March 2024 my daughter Sophie was diagnosed with bone cancer. They found a tumour just above her left knee after a routine X-ray days after she had a tumble at rugby.

She had to go through 10 months of chemotherapy and was in the hospital more than at home. She also had to have her left knee amputated, a procedure called a rotationplasty.

This was the worst time of our families lives and we struggled to cope with it all, but Sophie just got on with it, never moaned, never asked why me? She was so brave throughout it all.
