    As long as I could remember I had leg pain as a child ,after years of pain it became excruciating and my mom took me to the dr , I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma of the left femur I had many many surgeries to save my leg ,but I eventually had to have an amputation at 15 and one year after my cancer spread to both my lungs , I did almost 4 years of chemo .. I am 14 years cancer free now healthy ,happy married with a daughter and one little girl on the way .. there is hope .. please feel free to reach out to me if u need someone to talk to or your son does !

    I have a friend who had this when she was 16 years old. The cancer came and left 3 times. They amputated her leg all the way up to the hip. She has an amazing and happy life. People just assume she has a slight limp, not a prosthetic leg. By the way, we celebrated her 60th birthday in June. My thoughts are with you.

    We went through the same thing with our daughter when she was six. The doctor kept saying it was just growing pains. Six months later she developed a lump under her chin. The doctor finally had blood tests done. Like you I’ll never forget the day I got the news. They told us to rush her to children’s hospital right away. She was in first grade, I had to go to the school and keep my calm and remove her from class. My husband worker in a factory at the time and I couldn’t get ahold of him. Fortunately my sister was able to drive us, I don’t think I could have driven there alone. When we got there they ran a few more tests. Then we got the news no parent ever wants to hear, She had leukemia. They took us into a small room and gave us our options. She ended up on three years of chemo and every other weekend in the hospital for heavy doses of chemo meds. You are right when you said it affects the whole family. At the time I had a 17 year old and an 18 month old. Time stood still everything focused on her treatments. God blessed us with a great community of people. Our story has a happy ending. She is 33 and has had a wonderful life. She married her Prince Charming 5 years ago. God bless your family, we will be praying for you.💕

    In 1993 my 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with stage 3 non hodgkins lymphoma. We had seen 2 different doctors that there was nothing wrong with our child but I just knew as her mother that something was very wrong. It was the worst of times. We did get through it and my daughter is now 32 and a successful lawyer. My prayers for Cohen and all of his family.

      Me too... just came across it randomly! An utterly horrible experience for the whole family. I can unfortunately say from experience that there's nothing quite like the feeling you get when you arrive at the hospital and 'suddenly' realise you're in a children's cancer ward... (my son was 9 weeks old at diagnosis and 10 weeks when he had surgery to remove his eye.) I'm feeling such empathy for this family, and so glad they pushed for more tests when they'd been initially dismissed. It's not an easy road to tread but thankfully children are strong and hopefully in a few years' time this will all be a distant memory. Stay strong. Sending hugs from England.

    Why don’t doctors test for the worst scenario first, then declare its growing pains when all other tests clear? If he had X-rays and scans when he first complained of pain, then maybe it could have been caught and treated earlier. Your little guy is a brave and courageous young man. Many prayers will go up for his recovery and for your family’s peace and back to normalcy and joy.

      Agreed. It actually made me feel angry on behalf of this poor family that the docs dismissed Cohen’s pain as ‘growing pains’. His cancer journey may have gone a lot better if it was picked up on and dealt with earlier.
      Sadly, ‘growing pains’ seems to be the go to for docs - certainly it is here in the uk. When I had pains behind my knees as a kid and that was dismissed as growing pains. I know now I have Hypermobility Elhers Danlos Syndrome. It seems many of us EDSers were dismissed as having growing pains as kids.
      I hope all goes well for Cohen. I hope he beats this sh*t.

It’s often a battle, certainly in the uk, to get listened to or passed to the right people that can help or diagnose the less common issues. I have EDS, most doctors are clueless.

If there were, children would be in constant pain until they reached maturity. Too many medical professionals use this term when no obvious cause of pain can be determined. To use it without even trying to investigate the cause of your daughter’s pain, is not only negligent, it is criminal!

    As “Selah” explained in comments before this one, I too had your story pop on to my gadget whilst I was scrolling in utube in completely unrelated area. I too was taken right in. I watched and listened with incredible focus and felt so much the pain of your breaking heart as you bravely, very bravely, carefully told your story with such grace and courage. I am a nurse too, and a mom. You were so articulate and crystal clear as you allowed us to follow your story. Your beautiful son! As you would continue to talk about what happened chronologically, I felt a pause in my breathe many times. His age. His presenting symptoms. The Covid restrictions clogging direct and more timely medical evaluation. The diagnosis and added load of lung involvement. The waiting. The shock. The terror. One road block after another with infections, and chemo that didn’t benefit his bone tumor. The hope of Trial drug(s).
    You have been thru hell. I wish I could reach for your hand or to offer a hug with a long quiet firm squeeze.
    To convey how sorry I am that this has happened to your son snd to you as parents and his brother and loved ones and friends. You are standing! And your beloved son is Walking!
    So good to hear that the path report and surgical result finally finally gave way to some good news! Oh my word. Finally a break!
    I have grieved two of my three young daughters taken in a family car accident 3 days before Christmas. I know what it is like to feel regular family life shatter in a moment. To have ‘holiday’ and normalcy evaporate.
    I have so much empathy for you.
    Will pray for all of you and I wish every good turn on the road ahead.
    So much adversity. May you feel your feet beneath you more as each week passes. May healing come upon your whole family as you knit back together and find normal once more. It is a different normal. You have realized months ago that there is no complete reset or return to living as you were before that December. Change blew in with the diagnosis snd all of the hurdles that quickly pounded down upon you.
    You are clearly a remarkable woman, remarkable mom. I hope you are well tended and supported.
    Prayers for you. I am still amazed at how overwhelmingly similar my thoughts and circumstances are to the woman who posted just before me. Oh yes, we are all connected.
    Much more so than most people will ever imagine.

    What an incredible young man. The courage, strength and fortitude he has is absolutely astounding. To be presented with such seemingly insurmountable hurdles and make it this far (still looking so beautiful) is inspiring. I am sure that a lot of his bravery is as a result of having such a wonderfully supportive family unit. I will think of Cohen and his positive attitude throughout this journey, whenever I feel like life has thrown me a lemon. This is such a reality check. 💞
