Hi,

My name is Kelly Wilson. I live in Oklahoma and my daughter Tylar was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of the right jaw in 2004 at the age of 6. She underwent chemo and also a 14-hour surgery to remove her tumor and reconstruct her jaw. They used a rib bone, but it ended up having to be removed after 2 months of battling infections. We are currently seeing Dr. Kenneth Salyer in Dallas, TX. He will be doing a reconstruction of her using a leg bone within the next year. Tylar has been off of chemo since April of 2005 and currently has no evidence of disease. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me. It is so hard to find people with Osteo of jaw to talk to.
