Childhood Cancer our journey! Ewing’s Sarcoma

Written by alex on Sunday, May 13th, 2012 in Back Pain.


February 1st 2007 our lives were changed forever. Our 15 year old daughter Nicolette (Nikki) was diagnosed with ewings sarcoma. For about 6 months Nikki was complaining of lower back pain off and on. The pain would go away with Motrin and sometimes be gone for a few weeks at a time so the doctor said to stop doing sit ups (she did 100 a day) and not to run on the treadmill and see what happens. Then on Feb.1st she said the pain was so bad she can’t sit in the chairs at school. That morning I took her back to the doctor and she sent us for a MRI that day. A few hours later the phone rang with the doctor telling us to pack a bag and get to Children’s Memorial Hospital that something was seen on the MRI. Since that day she has had several procedures, scans, MRI, and biopsy. Due to the location in her spine it is inoperable. She has completed 9 rounds of chemotherapy out of 14 all inpatient and she has just finished 31 radiation treatments. She loves shopping, listen to Bob Dylan, and horseback riding. Her older sister is her best friend and as she says her 2 younger sisters are annoying. Nikki is an inspiration to all of us with her strength and her constant negotiations with the doctor to move chemo for a week or two due to what she calls more important things. They gave in this time so she could start her Junior year but it’s going to be the last time. As with all these amazing kids life has been a roller coaster this past year in and out of the hospital, low counts

Mindbody medicine pioneer, Dr. John E. Sarno, is Professor of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University School of Medicine and attending physician at the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, New York University Medical Center. Since 1973, Dr. Sarno has conducted research and clinical practice on disorders relating to musculoskeletal pain. Through his ground-breaking experience, Dr. Sarno has identified the cause of most common back, neck, shoulder and limb pain, and has developed a revolutionary Mindbody treatment program which has helped many to become free from chronic pain. Over three-quarters of a million readers of Dr. Sarnos books, as well as thousands of his patients, have shared a common bond: the discovery that the agony of most back pain and its cure has a basis in the mind. Dr. Sarnos therapeutic approach is based solely on providing knowledge and understanding of the true source of the pain. This is accomplished by personal interaction between Dr. Sarno and the patient. This DVD provides the opportunity to hear and see Dr. Sarno describing the nature of the disorder through a process of realization of the relationship between emotions and physical symptoms, as well as the power of awareness as a cure for many common pain syndromes.
