I had osteosarcoma and i am now in remission. I had 1 year of chemotherapy and i am 14, but was 13 when i was diagnosed. It was the most difficult year of my life and i lost al my hair. i had it in my left tibia and i had the whole bone replaced. Everyone that is facing the huge journey to overcoming it, god bless you. I hope you all the best xxxxxx
