Keil’s Story

I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma on March 24, 2009. I'm a fighter and I don't give up.

No more chemo for me! Woot woot and wahoo!
On the road to recovery now. Ready. Set. Go!

When I took my physical before school, I was told I had tendonitis in my right arm. When I began to get a bump, I assumed it was just a part of the tendonitis because it still had the same ache. Well, over time, it has grown quite a bit so I went to the pedatrician on Monday, March 17th. None of the doctor's knew what was on my arm, so they performed a cat scan to see what it was. The results were that it appeared to be something minor, something benign.


I went back Tuesday, March 18th for an MRI to get a better picture of what was in my arm. The results came back, and I had a tumor in the soft tissue of my right arm. I am going to Minneapolis on Sunday for an official biopsy and from there, most likely treatment. I don't know when I'll be home or anything that will happen later. It all seems just too big, too real for it to be true. But the proof is on my arm, where the pain keeps me up at night and the bump grows larger. I cried a lot, so I hope I have cried it all out. It’s going to be tough for me and I don't know when it's going to be easy again.
