I was diagnosed with a non genetic bone cancer, Osteosarcoma, at age 13. I was treated with 1 year of chemotherapy and many surgeries, including a limb sparing surgery where as an alternative to amputating my leg they replaced my bone with a titanium rod. I now wear a brace to walk and have a very noticeable scar. I have always preferred for people to ask questions openly instead of stare at my leg. I’m very comfortable answering questions about my experience and often give speeches on the subject. I am now 23 years old and 10 years cancer free. AMA.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
Thanks very much for telling us about your experiences with bone cancer and for offering to help answer people's questions. Probably the best way to do this is to pop back every so often and look for new posts asking for help.
When you have a minute, it would be great if you could pop something about your journey into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
