Ah, those names bring back hospital smells. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma… they are bone cancers that often strike the young, just when you're growing fast. Limb salvage surgery, it's a miracle—they take out the bad bone and put in metal or a donor piece, so you keep your own limb. For me, amputation was never the plan, but this saved leg is not the leg I was born with. My prosthesis inside my calf means I walk with a slight drag, a quiet reminder with every step on the sand that salvage is a repair, not a return.
