My knee has been giving me pain this summer. After extended walking or ups and downs or long periods of it being stationary were key contributors to the "aggrivation". With my history (tho it be 11 and 12 years ago!) of the bone tumors (chondroblastoma's..which incase you didn' t know, only make up 1% of all bone tumors!) we thought it best I get it checked out. Just to rule out recurrent issues.
I had the drs. appt. on Wednesday and he ordered an x-ray as that would give him a peek in my leg to see what was going on. Yesterday they called with the results. The nurse said that they can see a "lesion" on/in the bone and they want to follow up with an MRI to further investigate that area. Lesion can be another term for mass/growth/tumor so it's very possible that another tumor has grown. I don't know anything more than that right now.
I do know that God is good and His plan is perfect. I told Eric last night, I'm less afraid of the actual tumor and possible surgery, than seeing how it will affect my family and wondering how long my recovery will be. I'm not 17 and 18 anymore you know!!! HA HA HA
So, I will update as I know information and of course we covet your prayers as we sit and wait for answers.

I almost forgot about your tumor!! Yes, I'll be praying. I had orthoscopic surgery on my right knee after faith grad and I'm almost 99.9% sure I need the 2nd one done and my Dr. said I'd need the same one done about 15 yrs. later or so... well, we just passed the 11 year mark-- yikes!!!
