A Wirral mum's first indication she had a "one in a million" tumour was when her knee bones fractured as she sat on the toilet.
Bethany Eason, now 26, was in agony while walking up the stairs to her bedroom so sat down on the seat of the toilet to rest – and as she did, her knee bones fractured. In hospital a biopsy confirmed the spontaneous fracture was caused by a giant cell tumour in her knee which had weakened the bones and surrounding soft tissue.
Bethany, from Wirral, had to have her knee and thigh bone removed and replaced and was told she'd never wear heels, and probably never regain full mobility. But after seven weeks of intensive physio and nearly a year of strengthening and home exercises, she did both.
