Season 3

The award-winning series returns with a remarkable episode. An ex-soldier needs surgery for almost unbearable nerve pain after a tragic incident in war-torn Afghanistan.

Liz prepares for the removal of a satsuma-sized tumour sitting deep between the two sides of her brain, which gives her crippling headaches. However, the operation poses the risk of a life-threatening bleed or leaving her blinded. Also, surgeons must remove a gigantic breast tumour from Anna, along with a number of her ribs to give her the best chance of survival

Alfie's life is being slowly being destroyed by a rare tumour which is growing at speed into his nose and cheek. It's up to surgeon Shaz Ahmed to operate on him without causing a devastating bleed. Elizabeth's kidneys have grown to the size of giant watermelons and are threatening to swamp her vital organs. Surgeon Mr Bhatt must attempt to remove both of them - before her health deteriorates any further

A 17-year-old's liver is failing and he needs an urgent transplant, but it is a very risky procedure, carrying huge potential for serious bleeding. Daniel is also facing a huge surgery. He has a major cancer in his right kidney that has grown into the renal vein and into a major vessel in his heart. If left untreated, he lives with the threat that his tumour could break off and make its way into his lungs - causing sudden death
