Dear Sue, In August 1999, my 15 yo daughter was diagnosed with a 10cm X 12cm synovial cell sarcoma in her right thigh. She underwent 3 months of chemotherapy, one cycle of radiation, surgery followed by 3 more cycles of chemotherapy. She's done very well and is cancer free to date. Next week, she'll take the SATs and then I'll really be in trouble thinking of her moving away for college. I know enough to be afraid, I know enough to keep moving forward with life.
Some times are easier than others.
I often watch her sleep and pray that I will have this opportunity for the rest of my life. I wish you and your son a happy spring. He had two surgeries and 7 weeks of radiation. His tumor was 2x3 centimeters in size. He goes for checkups every 3 months and gets an MRI and lung scan.
