DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE FIND A NATURAL CURES HEALTH CENTER AND ASK FOR OZONE TREATMENT . NO MEDICAL DOCTOR WILL DO THESE , SO DON'T EVEN ASK ONE . THIS IS VERY CHEAP AND IF ALL CANCER TREATMENTS USED IT------ THE MEDICAL SYSTEMS WOULD GO BANKRUPT . OZONE IS O3 AND PUTS ALL CANCERS IN REMISSION ALONG WITH MANY OTHER ALIMENTS .

Surgery is always the first treatment for bone cancer patients. What would happen next would depend on the type of bone cancer, the stage of disease and where the tumor was located. Radiation might be used after surgery but not always. Chemo would only be used if the tumor had been shown to be responsive to a particular chemotherapy drug. Some bone tumors do not respond to many types of chemotherapy. Ozone would never be used by a legitimate Dr since ozone is not approved by the FDA for treating cancer and any use of ozone would open the Dr and hospital up to criminal prosecution. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1370/is_6_33/ai_57800127

Your questions is far too general to answer properly. There are different types of bone cancer so much would depend on the type, location, stage, tumor grade, the age and overall health of the patient. If you need more specific answers than the best place to go is to the support groups for the various types of bone cancer . . most people there are patients discussing treatment options and they can guide you. Google ACOR mailing lists for Ewings sarcoma and Osteosarcoma to start.

there are many different types of bone cancers each with their own treatments. For cancers like osteosarcoma radiation is rarely used. first the scans tests and biopsy to confirm that it is indeed cancer. Then usually a surgical treatment. Depending on the age of the individual and the location of the cancer they may be able to remove the effected bone and replace it with donor bone or metal plates. for those finished growing and with early detection and the cancer away from the joint this may be a good option. If the person is younger and will continue growing they may require many surgeries if this course of action is taken. Amputation is another treatment for osteogenicsarcoma and some other bone cancers. if the cancer is in a location where the bones cannot be replaced or the person is young and will continue to grow this may be the better option. the leg is removed at the femur, at the foot, through the knee or the person may have a van ness rotation * cringe* another surgical treatment that i honestly don't know why people do is fusing the knee. The person would then live with a straight leg for the rest of their life. People allowed this to happen to their kids when i was going though and I can't believe a doctor would even consider such a thing. straight legs are a pain. they wear you're hip out like there is no tomorrow. then of course though out all of this there is Chemo.
