Ashtons journey begins in May 2021. Ashton like another teenage boy had his fare share of accidental oops . One morning he was expressing a severe pain in his right knee. And thinking he may have pulled a muscle or done something to it in his wrestling class we just started to ice it. A few days passed and his knee started to swell up a little bit looking like he may have dislocated it. But he still brushed it off until another 1-2 weeks had passed by and all I heard were screams and cries for help from his room . I rushed upstairs only to find him on the floor in his room nit being able to stand up nor have any pressure on his right leg. We made a Dr's appt and she thought Maybe gout . So we went to get some x-rays done at 8 am and wete told that the Dr will get the results and get in touch with us between 3-5 business days. By 12 noon that same day my phone rang and it was the Dr office. I picked up only to hear the words " your son has bone cancer ". The next month and a half were continuous appts and tests and blood work biopsy surgery to get a final diagnosis . And o July 28,2021 we were called to come the hospital so they can go over their findings. July 28,2021 my son turned 17, he should've been blowing out the candles o. His cake and making pla s with friends of joy riding. But instead my son was told he was positive for Osteosarcoma a form of bone cancer . Tbc......
