A Hamilton woman had her leg amputated in a bid to fight off a rare cancer.
Rebekah Laverty was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma in December after spotting 'unusual lumps and swelling' which led to an MRI scan that found a 13 centimetre tumour above her knee.
The 'unheard' type of cancer can come from muscle or ligaments and is often found in the arm, leg, foot, wrist, ankle, lung or abdomen.
