Janet's daughter was 12 years old and she noticed her limping. They thought she simply tripped over a root. But when home remedies didn't reduce the swelling, they sought further answers. This is their story.

If a lump is growing, even if painless, ask for imaging. If bone or soft-tissue pain wakes you at night or lingers longer than a month, push for an answer. These red flags can lead you to a critical early diagnosis. #SarcomaAwarenessMonth2025 #SarcomaSignsAndSymptoms 2/2
