Vinesha has a future she never dreamed possible thanks to The Princess Margaret

Vinesha Ramasamy was diagnosed with an aggressive form of osteosarcoma - the same type of cancer Terry Fox had - at the age of 15. She underwent surgery to remove the large tumour in her leg and the massive reconstruction meant she was unable to walk. Four years later, the cancer returned and Vinesha was told she only had six months to live. A doctor at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre suggested a clinical trial. The drug hadn't been used on her type of cancer before but the risk paid off. The clinical trial drug shrank her tumour enough that she was able to have surgery. “Thanks to The Princess Margaret, I can continue to live my life, hit new milestones and really take advantage of this life I’ve been given,” says Vinesha.
