True tales of life after bone cancer.
I’m in training, folks! Or at least it would appear that way. This morning I woke up, did my leg exercises for an hour and a half, Tiger Balmed my shoulders and neck, then elevated and iced my knee as I heated up my low-back with my heating pad. I felt—and smelled—just like an athlete! (Except instead of heading out to the triathlon, I crutched the two feet to my desk to blog.)

In May of 2005 I was diagnosed with a chondrosarcoma of the left femur. I saw six of the top doctors in the field in six months and not one agreed with another on what I should do. It was up to me to decide. Instead of deciding I wrote a one woman show about it called Bone-a-fide: A Tumorous Comedy. That helped. On December 15, 2005, Dr. Healey at MSKCC performed a resect/reimplant with cryosurgery. I've been healing well since then. (Though, I still wish I had gone with the bionic leg option.)
