. Flyers’ Oskar Lindblom completes final chemotherapy treatment
I don’t know how accurate this article is but it’s says it in the leg. For Ewing’s sarcoma, the farther away from the trunk of the body the better the prognosis so midfemur like Herzlich isn’t a bad place to get it. You have more treatment options the farther away from the organs in the trunk of the body as well as joints. It’s sound like they caught it early enough and was in an area that could be easily resected without too many side effects.

I think that article may be mistaken, because initially it was reported as an upper body injury.
And I don't think he's ever been seen favoring a leg, nor was he ever on crutches.

Could have been the fibula as well. If I were to guess where in his leg, that would be it. It's non weight bearing. To give you an idea, that's how Donovan McNabb played on a broken leg, because it was the fibula
This is what I thought too but I don't think anything was official, the diagnosis just coincided with "shoulder pain" if I remember right. Not saying it wouldn't be related, just saying nothing is official I don't think.
I'm anxious to see if Oskar decides to release medical details. Until then it's all conjecture. What is official is that our baby boy is healthy
So happy to see this. Whenever and where ever he returns to play, I'll be standing and cheering for him.
Lindblom-Hayes-Konecny will be a stud line next year.

If he can come back and play again, that would be great. If he never does, I'm fine with that. Anyone who beats cancer is in my HOF. A winner in life.

I don't think we have to say "if" anymore. He's coming back.

Not to be a downer but there was the Dave Dravecky situation in baseball. Things only happen when they do. I want to see Oskar do what we all hope that he can but things don't always go the way that we want.

Dravecky was a different situation.
A cancerous desmoid tumor was found in Dravecky's pitching arm. On October 7, 1988, he underwent surgery, which removed half of the deltoid muscle in his pitching arm and froze the humerus bone in an effort to eliminate all of the cancerous cells. Doctors advised Dravecky to wait until 1990 to pitch again, but Dravecky was determined to pitch in 1989. By July 1989, he was pitching in the minors, and on August 10, he made a highly publicized return to the major leagues, pitching eight innings and defeating Cincinnati 4–3.[9] In his following start, five days later in Montreal, Dravecky pitched three no-hit innings, but in the fifth inning, he felt a tingling sensation in his arm. In the sixth inning, he started off shaky, allowing a home run to the leadoff batter and then hitting the second batter, Andrés Galarraga. Then, on his first pitch to Tim Raines, his humerus bone snapped; the sound of it breaking could be heard throughout the stadium. Dravecky collapsed on the mound. He'd suffered a clean break midway between his shoulder and elbow, ending his season.
The Giants won the National League pennant in 1989 (defeating the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS in five games), and in the post-game celebration, Dravecky's arm was broken a second time when he was running out to the mound to celebrate.[10] A doctor examining Dravecky's x-rays noticed a mass in his arm, which turned out to be malignant. Dravecky's cancer had returned, ending his career.

They said he had a sore shoulder. Maybe his girlfriend told him to get the nagging leg thing looked at while they were treating the shoulder. Whatever, it’s great to see him on the and finished the treatment.

Oskar said in an interview that Lundquist was in him about getting a pain in his leg checked out.
At least I'm 99% sure somebody posted that earlier but I didnt look very hard for the link.

I don't remember hearing that, but I found these stories:
https://www.traderumours.com/index.php?
blog=10413 Philadelphia Flyers' Oskar Lindblom diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer
They both point to the upper body, while Pyett had a swelling in his leg that turned out to be sarcoma when he was with the Phantoms.
