A Meniscal Tear Would Be Better

The World Series is the best of seven.  The contest is rarely expedient--an expected battle, with great performances, miscues, camaraderie, heartbreak, emotional ups, squandered hope, and sudden rallies.  Pick your year, remember your team.

Miles had some lingering left knee pain towards the end of football season. X-rays a few weeks ago were normal.  Got worse...got MRI...got results:
New tumor in left leg--upper tibia, lower femur, extending behind the knee. This is recurrence number two, and the third ineffective medical regimen. Osteosarcoma is a formidable opponent, leaving Miles and his team few options. Miles feels well however, his knee ache currently mild, and after assimilating information over the last few days, he is dressing for the game.

Here's the setting:
The intact leg is compromised with tumor.
There are new metastases in both lungs.
There is apparent spread to one rib and the left pelvis.
Leg surgery is not recommended unless we can demonstrate systemic improvement.
We have not yet discussed when and if lung surgery would be helpful.
Miles' oncology team at BCH/DFCI is reviewing options, and has shared the leading possibilities with us.
We hope to have a medical treatment plan in place next week.

But to be clear, there are remaining questions and more information to be gathered. Louis knows his brother's doctors are very concerned, and he knows his family and friends and doctors and nurses are rallying.  At the time of this posting, Louis is being drafted into the NBA (NBA 2K17 for PS4), and Miles is sounding pretty good on guitar.  Their bellies are full and it's Thursday.
