Here we meet eighteen-year-old Stefan Dabeesing, who, in August 2006 was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Faced with the possibility of having his leg amputated, Stefan explains how it felt to be told such news and describes the relief he felt when discovering doctors were going to explore an alternative treatment route. Stefan takes a trip down memory lane as he takes us round the unit on which he was treated; stopping to talk about some of the experiences he had along the way.
