Troy Druppal, 26, had only been playing for a year when he was diagnosed with bone cancer in his left arm in September 2004. After successfully undergoing chemotherapy, the cancer returned almost a year later and in February 2006 doctors amputated his arm. However, the cancer spread to his lungs and his head, and in December 2007 he refused to undergo chemotherapy and was given just six months to live. But he kept on playing basketball to keep his fitness up and now says he owes his life to the sport. **Please contact [email protected] to licence this content** Company Information: Caters Clips is owned and operated by Caters News Agency Ltd, an international multimedia content provider.
