December 20th 2010 - Journey Begins

On December 20th I received news that can only be described as life altering.
I was informed after many tests that I have Pleomorphic Sarcoma.
This is a rare form that attacks the bones and tissues of your body and eventually can
spread to your lungs and other organs.
The good news, mine has not spread so on January 5th I have surgery to remove the lower
part of my left femur. some of my thigh muscle and a total knee replacement....and the journey begins.

To backtrack the story, I have been dealing with ongoing problems in that leg ever since I broke my femur in an accident . Of course, I assumed it was all related to the break, but more was to come. Somewhere along the way my body started making this cancer and that brings us up to the present.
