A Brave girl (A real story) ------------------------------------------- When Rachel was 18 year old, she was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) while a senior in high school. Doctors told her she would lose her leg. But miraculously, they were able to save her leg. They cut the bone and replace it with a titanium rod. After chemo therapy, the cancer was gone, but it came back again. She beat her cancer twice. It came back a third time, three years later and this time it was extremely severe. Just when one tumour was removed and treated, another popped up. She celebrated her 22nd birthday with friends before travelling to the hospital in Oregon for her treatment which began on her birthday. . At the end of that treatment, a third tumour appeared and it was inoperable. Never did she stop smiling. Never did she complain. She was greatly involved in her studies, examinations and entertainment. Later she noticed the arm numbness that was the return of her cancer once again. But she is extremely confident that she can win. Rachel is always happy, daring, dashing and active. She never allowed anyone to show pity on her. She uploaded a YouTube video of her story to encourage cancer victims. More than 20,000 people watched her video. . https://youtube/watch?v=J6qo3ksnWlw&list=UUPI7BESvCOU0-95xLnZlENg .........................................................................................
