CANCER SUCKS. Andrew “Sunny” Sundberg was diagnosed with Stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma in May of 2022 in Carson City Nevada after finishing his first year of college at UNR (University Nevada Reno). He came back to Minnesota for treatment since it was said that no one in Nevada had the expertise to treat this. We are looking for help with covering expenses like gas, hotels, travel to treatments, medical treatments.
July is Sarcoma awareness month. A sarcoma is a malignant tumor, a type of cancer that arises from transformed cells of mesenchymal (connective tissue) origin. Connective tissue is a broad term that includes bone, cartilage, fat, vascular, or hematopoietic tissues, and sarcomas can arise in any of these types of tissues. As a result, there are many subtypes of sarcoma, which are classified based on the specific tissue and type of cell from which the tumor originates. Ewing sarcoma is a type of cancer that forms in bone or soft tissue. Symptoms may include swelling and pain at the site of the tumor, fever, and a bone fracture. The most common areas where it begins are the legs, pelvis, and chest wall. In about 25% of cases, the cancer has already spread to other parts of the body at the time of diagnosis
What we have learned since May when Andrew was diagnosed is that it started in his hip and has spread to his lungs. Ewing sarcoma presents as a sports injury(bruise) to start. To many young people let these injuries go way to long. They want to keep playing to impress their parents, their coaches, their friends. Athletes and parents please make sure to pay attention the smallest of things and push to have people look at these.
