Wounded Guys and Girls Tell Us the Stories Behind Their Scars

“When I was three years old I was diagnosed with a Stage 2 Wilms Tumour, which is a form of childhood cancer that grows in the kidneys. I had chemo to shrink the size of the tumour and then an operation to remove my right kidney. Today I have a scar across my stomach that I have learnt to accept as part of me. Through my teens, this was hard. I have a smaller scar above my right breast, from where they dispensed the chemo.”
