Mandy Sellars suffers from a disease that causes your legs grow. The doctors told him he had to amputate the leg because it could cause death. But 22 months after surgery, his leg was growing at a rapid pace.
Doctors diagnosed severe sepsis in the limb and warned that "was she or her leg."
"I expected that with the amputation my condition stabilized, but I think deep down I knew it would start to grow again," he said. "Almost immediately started increasing stump diameter and it was more difficult to fit into my artificial leg. "The stump was so heavy that it broke his prosthetic leg," he added.
Similar to Proteus syndrome, which is a congenital disease that causes skin overgrowth and abnormal bone development, often accompanied by tumors over half the body.
Mandy 36 years old and a native of England is hoping that a cure for their disease can be found.
