An end to a great weekend

The end of another fantastic lake weekend. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend in terms of weather. Hot and dry! Kavan was well this weekend and was able to take advantage of all lake festivities! Below are some more pictures of our fantastic weekend. Now back to the grind, another week of work!

What is Ewing's Sarcoma?

Ewings Sarcoma was first described by Dr. James Ewing in 1921. It can arise from a translocation between chromosomes 11 and 22. Basically, chromosome 22 contains the Ewing sarcoma gene and chromosome 11 is responsible for turning the genes on and off. A breakage and subsequent fusion of chromosomes 11 and 22 can result in Ewings sarcoma.

Ewing's sarcoma is a rare but agressive form of cancer requiring an intensive chemotherapy regimen. It is extremely rare to find in adult patients and only about three in one million adults are diagnosed with this type of cancer.
