As you may have heard, I was diagnosed back in december with bone cancer. The pain and swelling in my knee turned out to be a large tumor on my femur bone. They also found a small tumor on my spine [the T-10] and small amounts in my pelvis, shin bone and lungs. I lost all the feeling in my legs after only being in the hospital for one week. I was stuck at the hospital for 6 months without one visit home [honestly!] and now I'm back at home for the time being. Apparently, I'm almost done my chemo, and i may not have to have anymore, depending on the results of my next test. I've regained the feelings back in my legs, but about 2 months ago they had to remove half of my right leg due to the size and aggressiveness of the tumor there. So now I'm just waiting for my prosthetic leg so I can learn to walk with it....the muscle in my other leg is still not strong enough for me to use crutches or stand, so I'm just wheeling around.
That's a bit of my story so far, wish you all well,
