Deadman,
Did you find out anything? I am a military spouse and I had a Giant Cell Tumor of the right femur. I have a limb salvage proshesis now, kind of like the Bionic Woman , only I can't walk let alone run haha. I had all my surgeries at Wilford Hall in Tx.
1st you need to have the addional tests , then you need to figure out with your surgeon what your options are. I went with the "resection" , a glorified way of saying above the knee amputation because without my prosthesis which is hammered into my bone marrow cavity, I wouldn't have a leg to stand on. That is my attempt at humor.
Good luck to you and let me know if I can answer anymore questions. There aren't many of us with limb savage prosthesis , or at least I don't meet many. I do go to Walter Reed and visit the wounded soldiers though , that is something I treasure, especially now that my son is going over "there" for a 2nd tour.
