Posted by micky76 @micky76, Aug 3 12:47pm

Hello, not too good on computers! However I hope this works, anyone who wants to chat about my particular sarcoma, I would like to make contact.I have chondrosarcoma, distal right femur .
This has resulted in abk amputation. Not sure where I am. Any thoughts from anyone would be appreciated. This is from me (MIKE STEELE) not my wife Sheila.

@micky76, Hi Mike, I pulled your post into a discussion of its own because I think it is an important topic. I can imagine hearing that cancer treatment is amputation was a big pill to swallow. How long ago did you have the amputation? How are you doing?

My husband Richie has same diagnosis. He went through 15 surgeries in 2 years or so. He’s in hospital and I just learned he will need amputation due to reconstruction failure. This means too many infections his flap plastic surgery is failing. Do you understand? I’m in shock and can’t type very well right now.
