A 15-year-old is pain free and walking after sacrificing her leg, to save her life.Kelsey Buckley from Seacroft in Leeds, was diagnosed with bone cancer in 2011.
After doctors removed part of her leg, replacing the bone with a metal prosthesis, the teenager was plagued by infections.
Kelsey was given a choice as medics revealed she had the option to have her leg amputated, or risk losing her life.
Refusing to dwell on her situation, the teen is now pain free and has started walking with a prosthesis.
She said: 'I was heartbroken to hear doctors say "lose your leg or your life.’
'But after everything I had been through it was an easy decision to make.
'I’m finally pain free and can start living my life again.'
You are very brave. Thoughts and prayers with you
