My Story and Advice to Those Living with Cancer.

At the age of 13, I was diagnosed with Osteogenic Sarcoma of the Right Distal Ulna. Sounds pretty scary, doesn't it? Simply put, I had bone cancer with a huge malignant tumor growing out of my right ulna. This is the small forearm bone which allows you to rotate your hand and wrist. This was in 1987 and although medical science had made great strides in this field, it was still nowhere near as advanced as it is today. I was a healthy, robust, and highly athletic kid. There was no history of cancer in my family as far as I know because I do not know my biological mother or her side of the family.
