OsteosarcomaA lovely word. Means a tumour in your bone.
Catch it early enough and it can be treated. And healed.
But your actual bone doesn't have nerves so it doesn't hurt so you don't even know it's there.
Then you get the magic word.... It's metastasised and you're fucked. Metastasised means that for some absolutely unknown reason, it's decided to spread.
Nobody who's worked with tumours has even a clue as to why some malignant tumours spread and why some don't.
Cheers
