Hi!

I am recently (March 2024) diagnosed with chondrosarcoma on my left lower pelvis. I had an MRI back in 2021 showing a lesion at the same spot, but was considered benign.

There were two times (in 3 years) that I thought I pulled my muscle at the back that it hurt when I walked. But it did not catch my attention. I had some sleep, and the next day I woke up, I was fine. So I never really looked into it, until this time, I thought I hurt my back again because we were moving. I went to the orthopedic for x-ray, and found out that it had became malignant.

I’m meeting with doctors at Mayo to discuss a plan for surgery. I’m quite concerned about my ability to walk after the surgery.

It’s difficult to find any type of information about chondrosarcoma online, and it’s hard to imagine what type of after care I will need.

I’m grateful for any sharing posted here. 🌷
