Allegro Non Troppo – Mark

Society & Culture

There are some experiences we all would prefer not to have had in our lives.
There are some experiences that are devastating and life changing, one of the most fearful experiences that causes the most dread is the amputation of a limb.
If it is the result of an accident the shock must be overwhelming, but also if it is something that is developing it can be even more terrifying.
How do people cope?
At the age of 33, Mark Dent had his right leg amputated above the knee.
The disease that invaded his body gave him little warning. Within months of the first sharp pain, he was diagnosed with bone cancer.
Periods of high dosage chemotherapy, and a bone graft, were not successful, and the amputation necessary to save Mark’s life followed.
His story, told with fierce honesty, of the impact this trauma has had – on his own life and on the lives of those around him are in his book “A good day to walk”
He’s with us today on Allegro Non Troppo
