Brave Hope opts for leg amputation

I was a bit afraid that if I was to ask the doctors they would see it as me giving up but it was the opposite.

Hope Gordon is an aspiring swimmer and rower. Three weeks ago she took the decision to amputate her leg. Hope suffers with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and has suffered with searing pain in her left leg for a decade. So, after crowd-funding £10,000 she opted to have the operation.
