Hi, I'm new to this. I've never actually discussed my illness before. But I do think that I would benefit in learning about others stories, in comparison to mine. i'm just interested in how others feel about their experiences. Well if you need to talk i'm here. e-mail me @ TheMetalGirl@hotmail.com thanx

    Hi Leslie! I'm Leeann, and also a 20/f survivor of bone cancer. I'm always interested in hearing about other's treatment. What kind of bone cancer did you have and where? I had Osteosarcoma in my left knee, and was giving a total knee replacement. Right now, even though I'm nearly 9 years cancer-free, I still deal with lots of knee problems and chronic pain, and I am curious as to how other's have been treated. I'd love to hear back from you, and feel free to email me if you fell more comfortable that way. leeann@triton.nu

    My daughter is fighting Ewing's Sarcoma as well... www.caringbridge.org/oh/teamdelaney... feel free to visit her website.

    Also, if you go to www.acor.org and search for Ewing's Sarcoma, you will find a support group for Ewing's patients (children AND adults,) parents, family and friends... some are survivors, some are fighting for their lives as your son, some are in treatment... all are kind and caring and willing to discuss with you treatment options they have found that have worked, those who haven't, as well as referring doctors and hospitals who have helped them through this.

    God bless you and your son!
