A TEENAGE girl told today how she was struck down by the superbug MRSA as she fought cancer in a Glasgow hospital.
Samantha Johnstone, 18, had her world turned upside down after she found a lump on her ribs, which was diagnosed as a rare bone cancer, Ewing’s sarcoma.
With vital final-year exams looming, she was forced to give up school so she could have chemotherapy and surgery to remove four ribs.
But she was devastated when doctors discovered she had contracted MRSA as she recovered from an operation at the Western Infirmary.
