This journey started in late July, when after complaining of minor headaches for several weeks after working in Tanzania for nearly two years. The headaches, although no more severe than one might get during a cold, were rare to me and were growing worse. I was fortunate enough to be able to schedule MRI and CT scans within 2 hours at the Aga Khan Hospital in Dar es Salaam. It was no small feat since these were the only machines in the entire country!
Jade was diagnosed February 4, 2009. She found the lump after a trampoline accident. She went to the doctor's office and they said there was a tumor in her tibia, so they sent her to Seattle Children's Hospital to do a biopsy.
In 2004 I had a horrible motorcylce accident and Dr "Chappie" found sarcoma cancer in my knee. As we all know sarcoma cancer is a evil, sneaky, demon and in 2006 came back to do a job and this time it took 7 " of my femur and 3" of my tibia and ALL of my knee. They told me it was gone.
In 1993 I felt a small lump, about the size of a marble in my right shoulder. I made an appointment with my general practitioner and he told me it was nothing to worry about. He called it a fatty tumor and said that it was very common. Several months later I saw my gynecologist and the subject came up again while I was talking with his nurse. He sent me to see a specialist and that Dr. wanted me to have an MRI. The MRI and a follow-up biopsy confirmed that I had a soft tissue sarcoma histiocytoma in my deltoid muscle. That was shocking news!
