About akyronad

I was diagnosed OsteoSarcoma in May 2010 and underwent 'scapulactomy' followed by 5 cycles of Chemotherapy (Cisplatin+Adramycin) till Jan 2011. During a PET scan in Aug, 2011, it had resurfaced with metastasis to lymph nodes & lungs. Was put on 2nd round of Chemo (Gemcytibine + Docetaxel). Post 3 cycles, the PET showed partial response. Continued with 3 more cycles.Competed 6 cycles in Dec 2011. Followup was done in Jan, Feb, April, 2012 & the Doctor said everything is OK. In May 2012 went to Doctor with accute pain at the place of 'scapulactomy' PET scan on 23rd May, 2012 shows recurrence at the place of scapulactomy and nodes in lungs. Doctor says he will start Chem.Undecided.
