My 17 year old son has been fast tracked to one of the 5 specialist oncology centres for primary bone cancer, it is also a specialist orthopaedic hospital for all kinds of trauma.  He's been referred directly to an oncologist and is being seen within 2 weeks of having his initial x ray.  It looks like he was referred to our local orthopaedic centre and they've referred him on as they phoned him on Tues with an appt for next Tues and the paperwork today is from the regional specialist hospital.

I am terrified for him.  He's in the middle of exams thinking life is fine and we're going to break the news to him at the weekend.  Obviously sarcoma is worst case scenario and there may be many other possibilities (fingers crossed).  It's a tumour on his right leg and a lovely member on here mentioned he had similar and had it removed and is now fine.

Does anyone have experience of primary bone cancers in the leg - we'll get a clearer picture on Wed when he has the MRI and sees the specialist immediately afterwards and to be honest I'm bracing myself for the worst....
