Teenagers fight cancer
A new survey has found a third of young cancer patients face discrimination because of their disease.
Despite this 90 per cent believe something positive has come out of their experience.
14-year-old Joe Neaverson recorded his battle against leukaemia in a video diary, showing the highs and lows.
In September 2005 Joe was diagnosed with ALL Leukaemia. He spent numerous weeks in Adambrooks hospital in Cambridge during his treatment.
Joe talked about some of the things he had to give up: "I had to give up rugby. I used to be captain of my school team, and played every weekend.
But this did mean he could focus on other activities: "There are some things you can do as well. I've always loved sailing so I've focused on that."
