Examine Yourself: Cancer at 13 is not easy

Leah Murphy was diagnosed with cancer when she was 13. She says it's not easy finding out as a teenager but tells Ciara McDonnell that you have to persevere.

WHEN I was thirteen, and just starting second year of secondary school, I was diagnosed with a parotid tumour, which is cancer of a salivary gland. I had rarely been out sick from school, and I had been very active. What appeared to be a severe ear infection then appeared to be an infection in my salivary glands, and then turned out to be a tumour.
