CANCER fighter Chris Carberry says the disease that has taken over his life for three years “is the best and worst thing to ever happen” to him.
The 22-year-old from Rainford was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, osteosarcoma in December 2015.
During his fight with the disease, Chris had his left leg amputated in March 2016 – a decision he described as “leg or life”.
Chris’ cancer journey has seen him blog about these experiences, writing words that have inspired others. This contributed to him winning the Pride of St Helens Courage Award.
