Hello -

I'm a new member. I received biospy results yesterday: Periosteal Chondroblasitc Osteosarcoma in my mandible. I've yet to have a bone scan, and all I know for certain is that more surgery & radiation is in my future. I'm only 28 and quite terrified - any advice?

    Take things one day at a time. Try to remain positive and not freak out. I'm only 23 and I was diagnosed with telangiectatic osteosarcoma a few days ago. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    Osteogenic sarcoma in mandible
    Hi I am a 27 year old female. Who was diagnosed 12/1/09 with sarcoma in my mandible. I had a complete resection of the sarcoma and my mandible on 12/18/09. 3 weeks later my pathology is in and I am starting my journey with Chemotherapy and possible radiation. Your not alone I am also scared, sorry I'm not much further into my journey than you are.
