Hello and welcome
Some of you by experience will have heard about a bone cancer called Osteosarcoma, a type of cancer that can affect any bone in your body, in my case it was found in my left femur (Distal femur).
Here is my story.
It all started back in August of 2021, the family had been on a trip to west midlands safari park the previous day, I was complaining of leg pain all the way round the walk through, I put it down to stopping and starting whilst on the safari itself. The following day I had been cleaning my car in the afternoon, when finished, I headed into the house to see the grandkids playing. I stumbled on one of the toys, hit the floor like a brick and heard a loud snapping noise, I knew at that very second I had broken my femur bone just above the knee.
After what felt like an eternity, medical staff arrived and knocked me straight out with ketamine, they then whisked me off to my local hospital.
The Doctors there were baffled how a fall in the living room could break a bone that commonly would take a major accident to do. They took a series of x-rays,
I was in so much pain and could barely bring myself to eat, I kept asking and asking the staff what's going on? Why isn't anything being done to fix my leg? Every time the answer came back “ were still trying to work out the best possible approach”.
Continued on part 2.
