Hello holliq and welcome to Cancer Chat, 

I am so sorry to hear your biopsy results have shown that you have osteosarcoma and that it is inoperable. I can understand this is really hard for you to take in and I hope that you will meet others on this forum who have had a similar diagnosis and that they will share their stories and experiences with you. We have information on bone cancer including osteosarcoma which I hope you will find useful.

If you have any questions or there is anything you would like to talk about, don't hesitate to ring our nurses' helpline on this free number 0808 800 4040 - it is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.

I hope that despite the fact that your tumour is inoperable, you will have other treatment options available to you. Let us know if you get a chance what you find out and what the specialists have said. Do mention to them too when you have your next appointment that you are finding really hard to deal with the news and that you feel your mind is consumed by this and whether there is any support available for you they could direct you to. 

Best wishes, 

Lucie, Cancer Chat Moderator

Hi holliq

how are you getting on ,did you get chemotherapy and radiotherapy?

i had 3 cycles of chemotherapy but it wasn’t doing anything so I then had 15 doses of radiotherapy last dose was on the 29th August,like you I have osteosarcoma in my pelvis, the main problem has been trying to get the pain under control as I’m sore. I’m taking 200mg of longtec morning & night also 60mg of shortec as a break through.im going in on the 25th nov for zometa infusion and they have also mentioned nerve blocker .have you had any of these and did it help at all. Look forward to your reply 

regards Dodderick
