via New W24:

Chaikhwa Nani Lobatse was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2013.  

She had to make a choice to get her leg amputated to stop the pain 
and the spread.  

She still managed to pull through and pursue her dream of  
becoming an oncology nurse.

In November 2013, three months after she started feeling pain just 
below her left knee and had a swelling/lump, Chaikhwa Nani Lobatse 
consulted the doctor and was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone 
cancer).  

"I was in disbelief. My symptoms matched that of bone cancer, and 
that´s what the doctor suspected after doing the biopsy, so I was 
expecting it, but it was just hard to believe," she tells W24.  

"I think that was the saddest day of my life. I just had a lot of 
fear, especially the outcome, because I didn´t understand much about 
this type of cancer and cancer in general."
