Lina with her bebionic hand prosthesis
Lina was diagnosed with a tumour near her wrist when she was 17 years old. The lab analysis showed that she had a spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare type of tumour that primarily occurs in children. Lina underwent a number of courses of chemotherapy and radiation, but nothing worked. So she and the doctors treating her finally made the decision to amputate her entire hand and parts of her forearm below the elbow. “After everything that had happened to me up until then, that was the biggest shock. I simply couldn’t imagine life without my right hand,” Lina says. “I suddenly realised that I would never have two hands again.”
