Bethany Eason, 26, was in agony while walking upstairs so sat down to rest – and as she did, her knee bones fractured
A mum was diagnosed with a 'one in a million' tumour after she sat on the toilet and her knee bones shattered. Bethany Eason, 26, was in agony while walking up the stairs to her bedroom so sat down on the seat of the toilet to rest - and as she did, her knee bones fractured.
She urged others to take aches and pains - a symptom of giant cell tumours - seriously. The tumours mostly occur in the long bones of the arms and legs, growing quickly and damaging the affected bone as well as potentially spreading to nearby soft tissue. When Bethany, an activities coordinator, first started noticing pain in her knee aged 19 she didn't think anything of it. And when the pain continued to worsen, she visited her GP who referred her for an x-ray and physiotherapy.
She continued: "I had pain in my knee on and off intermittently but being 19 I was blasé and thought it would be fine. It would get worse, then would go back to normal, then get worse again.

The whole team were fantastic, and this one nurse was fantastic - she held my hand and was always there, she was first person to show me my scar.
