      How have you been Lorri? I hope evevrything is going well for you or at least as good as it can. We are working on wrapping up my comp case here in the next couple months (fingers crossed) so maybe we'll be able to return to some kind of normalish life.

      My left leg was amputated in February (hip disarticulation) due to Osteosarcoma.

      Treatments

      Lyrica Somewhat Helpful
      Lyrica seems to be helpful, but I still get phantom pains at night, especially when I'm lying down.
    • Close Bone Cancer
      Type: Osteosarcoma

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      I had only 3 of 6 chemo's.It shrunk 90% of my tumor. I chose to quit before it got the best (or worst) of me. My third treatment wiped me out for months.
      Surgery Working / Worked
      My left leg was removed. I am now a hip disartic. The tumor was removed and I had relatively little pain at first. Now 7 months later I am experiencing phantom pain.
