My name is Anthony and this is my site. I was diagnosed with a Primitive NeuroEctodermal Tumor (PNET) in April of 2003 when I was 4 years old. PNET is a type of Ewing's Sarcoma. The tumor was on my fifth rib and was about 1.25 inches big. It sounds scary, but don't worry I'm doing fine now. I did 4 of my chemo treatments and then had a surgeon take out the tumor and two of my ribs. Then I did 10 more chemo treatments to make sure everything was gone. It has been more than 4 years since we found "my bump" and I go to the doctor for checkups and scans four times a year now.
