Amy Conroy was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, at 
13 years old. She described what she went through. "My heart 
plummeted. For me, cancer means death. My grandparents, mum and 
uncle, had all died from cancer."  

She added: "I thought this was it. I am going to die at 13."

Diagnosed late, Conroy had a 50 per cent chance of survival, and the 
cancer was widespread. "I had a wheelchair, and as I sat down, I had 
no idea I would not stand up again for two years," she revealed.  

An above-knee amputee, she started playing wheelchair basketball 
through her father who she saw as her hero. He encouraged her to  
attend and kept taking her back even though she disliked it.
