Just to let you all know, my nephew Christopher had his surgery. The tumor in his forarm was much more extensive than they had thought but, praise God, it was not cancerous. The cadaver bone they got from Washington State was a perfect match and they replaced one of the two bones in his forearm. He still has a long road ahead of him, but he is doing good and back to being his happy go lucky self.
Thank you all for your prayers.
Hugs

Wonderful news, Ruth! There are times science goes in the wrong direction a little too far, and then there are times, like this, that we should be very grateful for their advances! Hugs to nephew Christopher!

That's good news Ruth..I have a friend who just had a steel replacement to his cancerous leg bone...he had the choice of one or the other but since he still had the tumor regrowing in the bone they decided to remove it all and not take a chance...he is healing now.
