Sarcoma is a rare type of cancer that originates in the body’s connective tissues, including bones, muscles, tendons, fat, and blood vessels. It is classified into two main categories: soft tissue sarcomas and bone/cartilage (chondro) sarcomas.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, followed by a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancerous cells. Early detection of sarcoma is vital, as it can significantly improve treatment outcomes and survival rates.
Prompt intervention can prevent the spread of the disease and enhance the effectiveness of treatment options.
Jamie Eliott’s adventurous life includes successful careers as a flight attendant and a Hollywood stuntwoman. After being diagnosed with stage 4 chondrosarcoma in 2017, Jamie underwent multiple surgeries but remained determined. A passionate pickleball player, she transitioned to wheelchair sports and co-founded a non-profit called “Para Pickleball Program.” As an official USA Pickleball Ambassador, Jamie continues to inspire others with her motto, “You can’t just sit around,” and believes pickleball, along with faith, family, and friends, has saved her life.
