Question: I had a form of bone cancer for which I had surgery. I cannot remember the name. It may have been plasma scarmonia. I was told it was a slow growing type often in the skull where mine was. I have blood tests every 4 months to be certain it is not still in my blood do you have any idea what it is named?
