Hello @mmccarter62 and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I can understand your concern for your son. He certainly has a lot to deal with as he begins adulthood. If you are interested in a consult with Mayo Clinic, here is where you can call for more information, Mayo Clinic in Florida; phone number: 904-953-7000; 904-953-7329 (Fax).

How is your son dealing with all of these health challenges?

Well he seemed to be dealing rather well with brain tumors. Eating well and exercising. Chemo and radiation don't seem to be affecting him too bad. Just a little less of appetite. Now the possible reoccurrence of the osteosarcoma is another beast. Preparing for possible full amputation of his left leg. He list his femur and hip back in 2004 and had a prosthetic in plant to take it's place. Not sure if it's possible to keep his leg since it's already mostly metal. He is Young and strong and hopefully will push thru all of this. He is a fighter so I look for him to continue doing what it takes to get better. Thanks for all the info. I will start digging in.
