I have cancer,on a 3.5 year chemo course, and one of the chemos i took killed the bones in my tim and fibs so i have to get double knee replacements which will be replaced every 20 years or less for the rest of my life and I can never play any sports again....so yeah man your "season ender" is really a downer

thats awful to hear man..keep your head up I really hope the chemo does its job

OP I had ankle surgery to remove a shattered bone and torn tendon and my recoup time was only 3 months till 100% health, not sure if you're in the same boat but you still have senior year which will be your most important

I've also had surgery on a torn hamstring, torn quadriceps tendon and torn rotator cuff all of which had much longer turn around times...all in all ankle surgery isnt that bad

I would check up with another doctor first before doing some surgery.... I know docs who always want to go with surgery, even if it isnt really needed. Its never bad to get a second opinion on something in my opinion! oh and I broke my clavicule last march which kinda meant an early season ending for me :/
