My initial diagnosis of Osteosarcoma was in June of 2017, right as i finished 6th grade. I had 8 months of chemotherapy with a surgery in the middle to resect the section of my femur that held the tumor. Over the next five years, I had multiple surgeries to save my leg; surgeries as minor as a bone graft and as major as another femur resection. In April of 2023, I was about to have my third femur resection when a huge bone tumor showed up on my scans. I was told that nothing more could be done to save my leg and that amputation was necessary to keep me alive. My leg was amputated from the hip and I started chemo again. Currently, I’m waiting to be healed enough for prosthetic fitting and eager to go to college this winter!
