Leslie and Eric Bartel joined The Lighthouse Podcast to talk about their daughter AG's battle against osteosarcoma, from which she is now in remission. They share her diagnosis story, which came about due to a perceived sports injury, and turned out to be a rare bone cancer in her left humerus. The Bartels detail the many decisions they had to make with this type of diagnosis, and how they tried to involve AG in as many of those decisions as they could—even when it came to choosing between limb salvage surgery or an amputation. Leslie shares how she researched and found a new treatment option for AG and ultimately got AG's medical team on board with the treatment. The Bartels also share some great wisdom in the conversation—from how to make decisions as a family to how to keep your marriage healthy during such a trying season. They wrap up the conversation by sharing how AG is doing today and what activities their middle school athlete is doing post-treatment.
