__**Bone cancer:**__
 * __symptoms__**: The most common symptom of tumors is pain. The pain will not be bad at first but will gradully grow severs over time. The pain will show in activity and at night. You can have symptoms for weeks, months even years. Eventully a mass or lump may felt on the bone or in the tissue. This is most common with MFH or fibrosacrcoma but also happens to other types of tumors. Your bones will become weak and fragile and this could lead to fractures, and broken bones. Some other symptoms ar chills, fever, night sweats, and maybe even weight loss, but these are less common.

__**Causes:**__ Bone cancer is caused with the cells that make up the bone. More then 2,000 are diagnosed in the U.S every year with bone cancer/tumor. Bone cancer shows up a lot in children and babys. There are different causes for different kinds of bone cancer.

1. (Osteosarcoma)-The 1st most common bone tumor. It mostly affects males between 10 and 25 years, but can be found in anybody. It is usaully found in bigger bones like the arms and legs, that are always growing. It is often very agressive and has a big risk to spread to the lung.

2. (Ewing's sarcoma)- It is the most aggressive bone tumor, and will effect kids between 4 to 15 years old. it is very common in males and very rare in people 30 years of age and older. Occurs in the middle of long bones like the arms and legs.

3. (Chondrosarcoma)- The 2nd most common bone tumor and is 25% of all bone tumors. This type can either be really aggresive or grow at a much slower rate. Unlike many other bone tumors, this affects people over 40 years of age. It shows up in the hips and pelvis.


 * __Treatmeant:__** There are many different treatments for bone cancer. The treatmeant choosen is based on what type of bone cancer, the location, how aggersive it is, and weather it has spread or not. The three main treatmeants are surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. In some cases more than one of these are used.
