druidess6308: My best friend got the results of her PET scan today. This is what she has:
•Chondrosarcoma is the second most common bone tumor and accounts for about 25% of all malignant bone tumors. These tumors arise from the cartilage cells and can either be very aggressive or relatively slow-growing. Unlike many other bone tumors, chondrosarcoma is most common in people over 40 years old. It is slightly more common in males and can potentially spread to the lungs and lymph nodes. Chondrosarcoma most commonly affects the bones of the pelvis and hips. The five-year survival for the aggressive form is about 30%, but the survival rate for slow-growing tumors is 90%.
Basically, her breast cancer has metastasized into her pelvis. The good news is, it's the slow growing kind, so the survival rate is high, but it's also her third bout with cancer in 10 years. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I'll be doing everything I can to help and support her, as she did for me when my husband was dying.
I'm in tears right now...this is a hard hit for me, even though the survival rate is good. She's a fighter, but has already said she didn't know if she had a third battle inside of her.
I have to get ready for work, but will be checking this tomorrow. Thank you in advance everyone.

Thank you, again, everyone for your prayers and support. I told her that she had a ton of strangers from CS praying for her, and she said, "Good, I need it, and tell them thank you for me."

Just wanted to let you guys know that she and I got to talk and research tonight, and it was great. We learned a lot, and we'll be making lifestyle changes together. She's not walking it alone this time, and she's grateful for that since she walked it alone the first two times, despite family and close friends. She said she really didn't know if she could do it again if she had to do it alone.
Her family stresses her, so she's going to keep contact with them to a minimum, and she and I will implement the changes to her life together. I'll wake up tomorrow as a non-smoker. Period. No room for failure this time. (No, she's never smoked, this is the one change that's only mine to make, but I'm doing it. This was my final piece of motivation.) I even offered my kitchen as our test kitchen.
I was making all of these changes slowly, and was following a plan, but now I'm on a head-first, full-immersion dive. Eh, I do better that way, anyway.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers. I want to see this cancer leave her permanently.
Thank you, my friends.
