A full year of my life was spent calling a hospital "home", after I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in 2012. “The Confiscated Leg” is my attempt at showing the world what can come after pediatric cancer, when so few people seem to think about it. But before we can talk about “after”, it’s important to discuss what lead me to this point.

In this episode, I’ll go over the signs and symptoms that eventually lead me to a cancer diagnosis, some of the general consequences of chemotherapy, why I ended up electing for an amputation, and how ending treatment was only the beginning of another journey to recovery.
