A Moment in Sarcoma from Mimi
l Chondrosarcoma · Moments in SarcomaAttleboro, Massachusetts
My daughter operated a busy daycare in her home. When the call came we were dancing in the kitchen; all of the kids were doing the Hokey Pokey My granddaughter had an emergency operation 10 days prior to remove a tumor that was pressing on her sciatic nerve. We were told that these tumors were 99% benign so we weren’t overly worried.. My daughter took the call out on the deck so she could hear. I remember a sound, still hard to describe, and watched my daughter sink to her knees and I thought, this is it, then, this must be cancer. The diagnosis was mesenchymal chondrosarcoma. I was right, and nothing was ever right again.
