A woman who suffered from a sore knee for months was horrified to find out that she actually had an aggressive bone cancer. Amy Haigh, 27, was a regular gymgoer and living a fit and healthy lifestyle when her world was turned upside down in July 2022.
The former early childhood educator was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer in her left knee. For six months Amy dealt with knee pain but didn't get it check as she thought the pain was caused by a sports injury.
When she finally saw a doctor, they found that Amy had in fact got a tumour on the end of her femur, close to the knee joint. After this discovery and initial biopsy, Amy had to undertake a long surgery to remove the cancerous bone as well as three rounds of chemotherapy.
