Scots teen had leg amputated after bone cancer returned during initial treatment

A teenager had to have his leg amputated after his cancer returned while he was completing the treatment for his initial bout of the disease. Fraser Reid, from Hamilton, began experiencing stabbing pains and feeling like someone was "crushing" his leg when he was just 17 in 2021.

Fraser underwent surgery to have the tumour removed and have a full femur and knee replacement. This left him stuck in bed with a knee brace for 12 weeks.
