Hello
I know this is a weird circumstance but my mother was diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma about 6 months ago.... It aparently is very rare in women her age to get this kind of cancer. I love her with all my heart and I am looking for someone to maybe give me advice or steps that I can take to help her beat this thing.
thank you

Hello,
I'm fairly new to this site. I signed up hoping to chat with others who may have had similar experiances to share. As it is hard to find others with my kind of cancer. At 11 years old I was diagnosed with Desmoplastic round cell cancer of the soft tissue. At the time it was 1995 and there had only been 12 others in the u.s. diagnosed with the same cancer. With a series of different chemo's I went in to remission for 10, and I had a relapse. This time I was told that the cancer I had is rare and aggressive and a variation of a cancer called Ewing's Sarcoma. We tried a different kind of treatment and radiation. And was able to go a year and it came back. Currently I just had my last surgery and treatment of November of last year and have been cancer free for the last few months. We are hoping for the best but its been really hard for me the last few months, due to the mental scarring that wont heal. I'm really hoping that by sharing my own experiances with this cancer, and reading others that I can really gain a new perspective and help me understand things with a better frame of mind. I would really enjoy talking to anyone willing to share their experiances.

Hello,
I am ES survivor of 28 years now. I was diagnosed at 16 years old in May of 1981. I had 6 weeks of radiation, followed by 2 years of chemotherapy. Chemotherapy consisted of Cytoxan, Vincristine, and Adriamycin administered every three weeks. My tumor was in my left hip and was very agressive. The doctors gave me 50% chance to make it six months. I became quite sick and very depressed during chemotherapy, but I used hypnotherapy and it really helped. The radiation caused my leg to break and then they put a steel rod my femur. I was on crutches for nearly five years. I still walk with a limp, but no crutches. Last December I walked a half marathon with my wife in Las Vegas. I never would have thought I could do something like that. I have recently become active in the Relay for Life and it has been great. I would gladly talk with you or anyone. Please email me at bcummings101@gmail.com.

Hi,
I have just recently been diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma of my larynx. I know that it is a rare cancer to begin with, affecting only 250 people per year, but I am only the second person in the world to have this cancer in my larynx. The other case was a 74 year old Japanese man. I feel a bit like a lab rat! The doctors are running all sorts of body scans to make sure that it isn't in other areas because it typically is located in bones. If my cancer is localized to my larynx then the doctors will give me chemotherapy and possible radiation if the chemo doesn't shrink the tumor, then ultimately, surgery. There is a possibility that I will lose total use of my voice box if they have to take out my larynx. The doctors will do everything they can to make sure this will not happen because I am only 21 years old. Right now the only thing I can do is be positive :-) I am looking to talk with anyone about their experience. Feel free to share!

I wanted to let you know that my daughter was diagnoised with Ewings when she was 7 years old (of the 10th rib). She underwent chemo and had a chestwall resection, which included the removal of 3 ribs. Today she is a 13 year old, loving middle school, happy, healthy,loving life, she is in the marching band and on the swim team. My daughter has also competed in All Star cheerleading. If there is anything we can do for you please let us know. There is life after cancer!

Lisa,
How wonderful to hear such good news about your daughter! I would love to hear more. We are just beginning Noah's treatment plan today. Chemo for three days, off two weeks, chemo for five days, off two weeks...after thirteen rounds, second surgery...after 15 rounds, radiation as well. It makes me tired just thinking about it. I'm staying fairly positive about the final outcome but I am not going to pretend like the road to getting there will be easy. I have a feeling we are in for some super tough times. A story like yours will really help us keep our spirits up. I hope to talk to you more!
Sincerely,

Everyone-
My 9 year old daughter started complaining 2-3 weeks ago of pain in her lift tibia(bone under the knee). We thought it was just a pulled muscle, so we didn't go to the doctor right away. Last week week(2 weeks in) we took her to the doctor. The doctor took an x-ray, saw something, referred to the MRI. Took the MRI about 4 days later, the radiologist suggested that we be referred to an Orthopedist, and we were. We saw the Orthopedist 3 days ago, and when she looked at the MRI film, she said it was a non-benine tumor that is affecting the bone and the tissue. She had us take a chest x-ray, and also took blood. The chest x-ray came out clear, but we haven't heard about the blood results yet. Ewings Sarcoma is one of the 3 cancers the doctor really thinks it is. We go in tomorrow for a CT scan and to meet with the Urologist and the Orthopedist again. We have a biopsy the day after tomorrow. Reading the survivor stories are very uplifting, because as you all know, the doctors have to be very blunt, and we felt like our daughter was just given a death sentence! Please keep the encouraging posts coming! She's my baby, and I don't want to lose her!

Sorry to hear about your son. I finished treatments last summer. I never had radiation though. Is he on 3 day 5 day chemo schedule. I had the same chemo as him. I personally feel that faith and prayers and positive attitude do help a great deal. I was 24 when diagnose will say prayer for your son and family.

Right now I am looking into whether I got it back again. Right now my right testicle has a lump near it and a lump on my right hip and my glands under my chin are now swollen. So I probably have it back or side effects to the chemo in the past.

Hey to all of you,
I'm reading your stories and am glad I found this site, as Ewing's Sarcoma is a rare cancer and it is difficult to find people to relate to. I was diagnosed with Ewing's in July, and have gone through 6-cycles of chemo. I'm going through radiation right now, and will undergo a stem cell transplant in mid-January.
My tumor is on left scapula. The tumors spread to the upper bones of my arms, the uppper bones of my legs, bone marrow in my lower back, and a little to my liver. After my 6-cycles of chemo, the only area left to really deal with is where the initial tumor was. I'm 1/3 of the way done with radiation, and it is going well so far. My shoulder area is just a little red, and I can handle that.
I'm really nervous for my stem cell transplant. This will clear out any microscopic tumors in my bone marrow. Have any of you gone through a stem cell transplant?
I hope you are all doing well :)

Hi Sarah, my daughter Sophie was diagnosed 4 weeks ago with a tumour in her left scapula and the metastastis is in the pelvis, spine and skull. However she has had 2 cycles of chemo and prior to her second cycle the oncologist told her that the tumour had shrunk. Sophie seems to be okay, only had trauma in the first cycle by having an adverse reaction to ifosfamide but she shocked the doctors and nurses by coming out of her coma 12 hours later and remembering every single detail possible. She is a fighter and we know that with prayer hope and faith we will win! Please email me with how you are getting on? strutt@btinternet.com

I had ewings sarcoma. The only problem is I was with my girl friends house when I went into a coma. I was sent to a cancer hospital she was there trying to get a hold of my family. When the impossible happens and I was taken by air by mistake to a bunch of random hospitals. Then I ran away from the children’s hospital when I was 19 mistaken for a really tall 9 year old LOL. Now I have no proof of this happening. Even though I was in a coma for 9 months or more. Some strange old guy was in my place at home to. I went to a bone doctor again locally for several lumps that have been growing and I saw a old picture with the old dude on it LOL. Not sure why he was there. I know I complained about the pain before the coma maybe that’s why. So no proof my family wont believe me even if I told them. Plus a potentially problematic chemo port that is still there.
But I still can tell you about my treatment. From what I can remember. Well the chemo port for the last 10 years hasn’t really bothered me. But I am still waiting to see what will happen with that. I know at times under the chemo it felt like I was light headed and kind of sick to my stomach at the same time I wanted to just run away and stop the treatment. Its not easy to finish the treatment with out some one helping and encouraging the person to finish treatment. I had no family and I wish I had it would have helped me continue being treated for the cancer and be done with it now. But now I have to face it once more and have to convince the doctors to do something about it which is much more difficult to do then you would think even with insurance.

Hi, I'm kinda new to all this but found some really inspiring stories on here about ES. My family have had a bit of a tough time of late. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer last march 2011 who went through surgury chemo and radiation. Just before her radiation was due to be finished my younger brother (then 17) was diagnosed with ES in nov 2011. All from just a Pain in his leg. So far his had a femar and knee replacement as the Tumor was 10cm, 15 rounds of chemo with only two left to do. He will then face in a surgury on his shoulder as he has another Tumor there aswell. We don't really know what we're facing into really!! Will there be radiation or more chemo? Doctors are being quite tight lipped about that. He's getting on as we'll as could be expected nearly a full year into treatment. He's up walking on a cane right now but the chemo is getting tougher and tougher each time as his body is really run down. He missed his final year in school so there's been a lot of anger understandibly. Hes relaly stuggling with accepting his leg the way it is now. I just want to be here for him as much as possible and help him through the next few months. Any tips or tricks would be really great! Thanks S
