«Breaking News» Student, 19, was left paralysed after doctors severed her spine during a routine biopsy

A 19-year-old woman has revealed she was just four when a routine biopsy on a lump on her back left her paralysed.  


Nicole Biddulph, of Devon, developed the golf ball-sized lump in May 2003 at three years old.


During a biopsy to check if the growth was cancerous, doctors accidentally severed her spinal cord, which the fibrosarcoma tumour was wrapped around.


Left permanently paralysed from the waist down, Miss Biddulph was then forced to endure four months of chemo and 30 sessions of radiotherapy, which caused her to vomit and lose her hair.


Since beating the disease, Miss Biddulph, now a student, refuses to left her immobility hold her back despite suffering shooting pains down her spine and cruel stares from strangers.

Fibrosarcoma is a cancerous tumour that starts in cells called fibrocytes, which make connective tissue. The tumours usually develop in the arms, legs or pelvis. 


It is unclear how common fibrosarcoma is, however, soft tissue sarcoma - a form of the disease - affects around 3,270 new people every year in the UK, according to Cancer Research.


In the US, 13,040 new cases of soft tissue sarcoma are diagnosed annually, American Cancer Society statistics show.  


WHAT IS FIBROSARCOMA?



Fibrosarcoma is a cancerous tumour that starts in cells called fibrocytes, which make connective tissue. 


The tumours usually develop in the arms, legs or pelvis.


It is unclear how common fibrosarcoma is, however, soft tissue sarcoma - a form of the disease - affects around 3,270 new people every year in the UK, according to Cancer Research.


In the US, 13,040 new cases of soft tissue sarcoma are diagnosed annually, American Cancer Society statistics show. 


Fibrosarcoma has been linked to the inherited genetic conditions Gardner syndrome, Li-Fraumeni syndrome and retinoblastoma, as well as chemical exposure and radiotherapy for previous cancers.


Pain is often the first symptom. If the limbs are affected, patients may also have swelling, tenderness and a visible lump.


Sarcomas in the lungs can cause breathlessness, and those in the abdomen may lead to nausea or vomiting. 


A diagnosis is made in a hospital and may involve X-rays, blood tests, a biopsy, or an MRI or CT scan.


Once diagnosed, first-line treatment is usually surgery, however, the tumour can be difficult to remove depending on where it is. 


Chemo can help to shrink the tumour so the surgery is less invasive, while radiotherapy is often given after to destroy any remaining cancerous cells.

Speaking of her tumour, Miss Biddulph said: 'My parents first noticed a lump on my back one day in May 2003 when was I was only three.


'It looked like a golf ball under my skin, so an MRI was done in September 2003 after an X-ray and ultrasound came back inconclusive. 


'The MRI showed a large mass surrounding my spine.


'After looking at the results from the MRI, I was sent for a biopsy because they wanted to find out what the mass was. 


'It didn't go to plan and I ended up being paralysed from the waist down.'


As well as being forced to come to terms with her immobility, Miss Biddulph also had to undergo grueling treatment for her fibrosarcoma. 


'I was very ill and placed in critical care,' she said. 'All I remember about being in hospital was throwing up constantly.


'The chemotherapy was really strong and intense, and it pretty much damaged my immune system and my hair fell out.


'The radiotherapy was quite uncomfortable too because I had to lie on a hard surface for quite a long time during each session. 


'I kept being sick and couldn't keep anything down, so I had to have a nose tube fitted to feed me. 


'The feeling of it going through your nose and down to your stomach was the worst thing ever.'


Although extremely unpleasant, the treatment worked, with Miss Biddulph being declared cancer-free a few years later. 


While it was a relief to no longer be battling the disease, Miss Biddulph was still immobile. 




Despite everything she has been through Miss Biddulph is determined to stay positive and hopes to inspire other people with disabilities not to let their conditions hold them back

'Once the tumour was gone, I had to learn my independence without being able to walk,' she said. 'I walked into the hospital but never walked out again.'


Miss Biddulph had rods put in her spine at a young age, which caused her to develop agonising scoliosis.  


'I got really bad spasms, which I still have now sometimes and I still to this day get back pain every so often,' she said. 'It can be quite painful and uncomfortable because it feels like a shooting pain all the way up my spine and into my neck. 


'It also made my hips wonky and so I found it uncomfortable to sit and balance sometimes.'


Since having surgery to straighten her spine and pelvis, Miss Biddulph experiences less pain and is determined not to let her condition hold her back. 


'I always try to maintain a positive outlook because otherwise I'd never get anywhere,' she said. 'If you spend all your time worrying about whether you will succeed, then you never will.


'The motto I live by is to just get out there and live your dreams. Most of the children I met in hospital back then, who went through similar things to me, didn't make it. So, I feel so grateful to even be alive.'


Miss Biddulph even has a no-nonsense approach to cruel stares from strangers. 


'There's always people in public who will stare, but I just tell myself they're curious,' she said. 'If people continue to stare then I will say to them "do you want a photo?", and if they carry on even longer, I say, "I'll even sign it for you if you want".


'I just try to laugh these things off because there's no point getting offended by minute comments or looks. 


'I want to show other people with disabilities that it doesn't hold you back. If you want to achieve something, it might take longer to get there, or you may need to find an alternative method, but you can do it.


'I hope that I'm living proof that you can succeed and remain positive despite anything that life throws at you.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
