Fraser Reid was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, after suffering “stabbing pains” and a “crushing” sensation in his knee.

Now the teenager is adjusting to life after the amputation and is focusing on staying positive while being “tormented” by pain. “I cracked a joke to try and lighten the mood but I had had a strong feeling for months that it was back.“After hearing this I was more worried to tell my 11-year-old brother it was back than I was about surgery.
