After feeling some pain in my knee and going to urgent care, I was told that I had a bone tumor, and was referred to a knee specialist to get an MRI. After getting an MRI, I found out that the tumor was a lot larger than expected and I was told I needed to get a biopsy done to see if the tumor was benign or cancerous. I left that day of the biopsy knowing that it was benign and I was pretty happy, to say the least. I then proceeded with a knee surgery a few weeks later to remove the tumor completely and in place put a bone graft with a plate and six screws holding it in place. After the surgery I was told everything went well and that I had a check up with the surgeon about a month and a half later. I met with the surgeon, was told everything looked great, but a few days later, I got a phone call from the surgeon’s office telling me that my tumor results came back as cancerous from the final pathology check. I was completely heart broken. I was referred to a pathologist and immediately started treatment. I am currently through my second cycle of my chemotherapy. Times have been rough here and there, but I’m fighting pretty hard and know that I’ll be okay as long as I keep listening to the doctors.
