In our experience, bone marrow transplants, chemotherapy if the tumor is inoperable and a clinical trial. The main goal was to keep the tumor from metastatizing. My mom had a will to live but most importantly an onc oncologist that had started a clinical trial.

@olgatsiagra1974, according to Mayo Clinic osteosarcoma treatment most often involves surgery and chemotherapy. Rarely, radiation therapy also might be an option if the cancer can't be treated with surgery. Read more here:
