The Peters family was referred to me by UCDMC Children's hospital. Zachary was born with a tumor in his lower right leg. The original biopsy came back as benign--Proliferative Fasciitis. The weekend prior to meeting with the surgeons to discuss the surgery to "debulk" the tumor, Zachary was admitted to the hospital because his electrolytes were off the charts. An MRI was done and showed the tumor grew aggressively and destroyed part of the bones in his lower leg. On August 10th, Zachary had a through the knee amputation. A second biopsy was done and on August 25th, Zachary's parents were told he had cancer. Zachary has been treated for an Undifferentiated Sarcoma, and at 9 months old was just admitted into the hospice program.
