My mom grew this varietal in the 80s for extra cash (we lived in Dane County at the time). I have fond memories of her tending to her fast plants which has influenced my love for botany. I currently work in scientific research (molecular biology, not botany) and I do believe my experience seeing my mom work with these plants influenced me.

I had the same thing done to me! Mostly the same, that is; I still have the top of my femur, so my hip is still bone. I also had most of my tibia replaced with metal.

I didn't have Ewings sarcoma, however, I had osteosarcoma. It's been 10 years since my femur was removed - things have been going well! I don't have questions for you.. just wanted to give you support!

As far as my metal femur goes, the shaft is titanium, but the distal (knee) end is high-carbon steel. Mine does indeed set off the detectors.. I don't think I've ever passed through one without setting it off.
