It’s osteosarcoma so I don’t know how long the future will be.

He had stereotactic radiation to “kill” the primary tumor in his hock and 6 rounds of chemo plus Zometa infusions.

However, it’s now a question of the micro-tumors that may show up elsewhere...or I pray to God, not.

His lungs are still clear of metastases which is great, but he has a pathological fracture now.

The leg bone is too fragile to do anything like braces and it will never heal like a non-cancerous broken bone would.

Sadly, he still uses the leg and it’s becoming iffier by the day and I am going to have to take away his leg to keep him from falling when it fails to hold him up, like he expects it to.
He forgets that his leg is weak and still storms around like he used to and now I have no other options.
This is the worst, hardest choice I’ve ever had to make in my life.

I have begged, borrowed and sold, yet still failed to save his leg.

:(
