Hi Kathrine I hope all is going well and you are up and around.I have been thinking about you it’s a big op but there is a lot of supports out there don’t let it define you.I have a very active life I ride my bike most days as I walk with crutches full time now I found that I could get fold up crutches that go into my basket and away I go .I have many different coloured light weight crutches no heavy grey crutches for me..I have travelled swam done more of what I did before my surgery 27.5 years ago.I wasn’t a swimmer before surgery but I found it was something that is very relaxing and great way to keep fit plus good way to meet people in the pool butI did have to make a couple changes to my strokes.My lovely surgeon when I come into his room if I am not in riding clothes he wants to know why I am not on my bike he has been so supportive and will take as much time to make sure I am happy with what is happening.Kathrine I would love to know how you are. I am in Melbourne Cheers Heather.

Hi all. My surgeon strongly recommends full excision of the osteosarcoma mass in my pelvic bone. Chemo and radiation do not do much with the type of bone cancer I have so excision is the only real solution. I have further meetings with him to discuss everything in more detail but atm I can say that I will have the affected bone taken out and replaced with a titanium implant, fusing the implant to the sacrum for stability. Has anyone here had a similar procedure? Having surgery to remove pelvic bone? thanks and I wish the best to you all, Katherine
