Osteosarcoma are cancerous bone tumors found in immature bone, most often in those over 10 and under 25 years old. This particular case is in a man named Robert Penman, who was twenty-four.
These days, in those whose tumor is non-malignant (has not spread beyond its original tumor site), the five-year survival rate is about 75%. Back in 1839, I cant imagine this lad was quite as lucky, but it appears that at least the primary tumor was removed for a time.
Case of Osteo-sarcoma of the lower jaw, as operated upon Robert Penman, aged twenty-four years. 1839.
So back in September last year, my baby girl tore the ACL in her rear left leg. So this past January, Bella went in for surgery to fix her leg and this is how they brought her out. As you can see, it took a group of five people to carry my dog out to the car and get her in. Sue was tired and mad at me for taking her but she did well in surgery and she walk walking on her leg in just a few days.
