Sarah is like most 20 year olds, going to college doing life. Hanging with friends, working as a Nanny for a really special family each summer. Sarah loved doing things with her younger sisters. She was the fun sister always taking her younger sisters to do things. Sarah (we’ve) always had fun hanging out as most families do. She had a bump/lump appear on her right tibia. We had it looked at by her Dr. and after an X-ray we were told to watch it. It didn’t look like anything maybe just a cyst, but we were referred to a Orthopedic specialist. Since it didn’t seem to be urgent, we were put on an endless waiting list by the Orthopedic. Fast forward to July 22nd we are in the ER because Sarah is in so much pain due to the bump on her tibia. She had a CT scan done in the ER. We saw a specialist on Monday the 24th, met with her Orthopedic Oncologist on August 2nd, and was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma on August 18. Then, on August 25th we met with Sarah’s Oncologist team at Scottish Rite and started chemo September 1st. First cycle of 14, then on November 17th was diagnosed with Minimally Invasive Adenocarcinoma (Lung cancer). Now to present day…Sarah has had two lung surgeries, and a limb salvage surgery. She is still undergoing chemo treatments. Hope to be finished with chemo treatments in April.
