I had Osteosarcoma, Rod in knee and want knee replacement

Hi @nawazmuhammed, I moved your message to the Sarcoma support group to help you connect with other sarcoma patients who may have similar experiences.
It sounds like, as a result of surgery to treat osteosarcoma, a rod was placed in your leg. Have your doctors said that it is possible to have revision surgery and a total knee replacement (knee megaprosthesis)? When did you complete surgery and chemotherapy?

Hello @colleenyoung, thank you for moving my message to the Sarcoma group.
Yes, I had surgery and chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, which was completed
in 2025. A straight rod was implanted in my leg, which prevents me from
bending my knee. My doctors have told me that I am cancer-free now, and
they suggested a revision surgery with artificial knee joint replacement
(megaprosthesis) to restore mobility.
I would like to connect with others who have undergone similar revision or
megaprosthesis surgeries.
