When I was 15 years old my mom brought me to a podiatrist because I had a mass on my ankle. The doctor said it was a ganglion cyst, but when they aspirated it no fluid came out. The podiatrist proceeded to do surgery on Dec 26th, 2017 to remove the mass, but he did not take clear margins and did the surgery without having an oncologist on board. I came out of surgery thinking my life would go back to normal. In January 2018 I turned 16 years old and about 5 days after my birthday my mom got a call from my doctor with my test results the next words the doctor said changed my life forever “We got the results back and it is malignant I am very sorry” I was shocked but I stayed strong and tried my best to accept what was happening. My tumor was in my ankle it was about 4.8 cm in size. I went to the Jimmy Fund Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Hospital and was told it was a life-over-limb situation. They said they could try and save the foot but that the odds were not in my favor. They said the only other option besides amputation would be to do radiation which would most likely render my foot limp and useless. Because the survival rate I was given without amputation was around 26% and treatment would likely result in future amputation I went forward with amputation. They amputated my right leg below the knee in February of 2018 just one month after being diagnosed with cancer. I started my freshman year of high school in a wheelchair and did a lot of my freshman year from home. Then It all changed the next thing I knew I had a prosthetic leg made and began to learn how to live my life differently yes it didn’t all come easily and still doesn’t. I have dealt with many ups and downs after my amputation. But it has now been 6 years since I was diagnosed with cancer and I am believed to have been given a surgical cure. Cancer may have taken my leg but it will never take me.Products
