and welcome to the site. You are the first here with an osteosarcoma question. I had osteomylitis when I was a child and was laid up for a year as a result of it.
I remember well going to UCSF for treatment and seeing the toys for the children they were treating. It was surreal and very sad to see the children going through treatment. They had special days for treating the children so they could be together.
Several here had had jaw reconstructions though and may be able to answer some of your questions.
I will keep you and Tylar in my prayers.
