That "C" Word !!

 Well, After some time after my Fall on March 11 and with all the follow up Doctors visits, feeling out of sorts and my hip and knee not feeling better I got a call from my Doctor and was sent to an Oncologist to haver further testing !

.

Well following more X-Rays, Cat Scans, MRI's, Blood work They found the problem with my Hip and Knee as to why they were not healing !

. It seems I have Cancer in my left hip bone and leg bone down to knee and also I have several Cancers located in my Left Lung !

.

Not waiting I went to UPSTATE Community Hospital, admitted and prepared for surgery.  after spending the night I was taken down to Operating Room,  Incision made in left hip and outside edge of knee a Titanium Rod was inserted into the Femur and a Metal Plate an screws in knee!

.

The Mass was removed from my Hip area and sent into the Lab for Testing to find out type, best treatment method and I am now home barely able to walk !
