One teen stands tall despite losing her leg to bone cancer


Bone cancer hasn't stopped teenager Nooraishah Arshad from living life.

“One of my crutches, it missed a step,” says Nooraishah Arshad, who walks to school every day with the help of crutches. “I lost my balance and before I knew it, I went tumbling into a drain right outside our home (in Kuala Selangor). My father was walking a few feet ahead of me. He heard my yelps and rushed to my aid. Before I knew it, the two of us were huddled in the drain together. Father had his arms around me sobbing uncontrollably. ‘I should never have taken my eyes off you!’ he kept saying. He held me so tight, almost squeezing the air out of me.”
