Many of you know I posted about DS's friend who had been diagnoed with osteosarcoma of his knee age 15yrs. (He actually had his 16th birthday this month).
After 2 courses of chemotherapy he had his tumour removed today which was a day earlier than expected. I spoke to his dad tonight and he sounded so much better. The tumour has been removed and he has been given an artificial knee which is fantastic (There was a fear that he might need an amputation).
The brilliant thing is he is pain free because he has an epidural that was put in when he was asleep. It is such a relief to know that the cancer has been removed. He still has a road to go but the relief in his Dad's voice made me want to cry. He has to endure 4 more cycles of chemotherapy but thankfully the cancer has been duly binned
