News24xx.com - Never been crossed in her mind, that Jenn Andrews would lose her leg. The mother of two children had cancer which forced her right leg to be amputated. Quoted from Health, Jenn who usually routinely ran four to eight kilometers per day, her life suddenly changed drastically when she learned that she had a pea-sized sarcoma tumor on her right foot.

The doctor also eliminated it, and Jenn's condition improved. But soon after, the tumor actually developed into myxoid sarcoma cancer, a fat tumor that develops in the deep soft tissues. Usually does not show any symptoms until the tumor has grown and suppressed the surrounding tissue.
