It all started with a musculoskeletal injury and some co-incidental findings on imaging. A unique insight from Kirsty Hopgood, a Graduate Sports Therapist who went from an ankle sprain in 2016 to a cancer patient in 2019. We talk about the initial assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, outcomes, and personal reflections following the diagnosis of an osteosarcoma in her fibula.
