From my understanding, my bil's cancer was not in his blood or bone marrow when it all began just in his shoulders and maybe another organ was involed. When it came back the 2nd time (in between he also had hip replacement surgery), it had gone to stage 4 and was in his blood and bone marrow (kinda like Leukemia). They tried chemo again but it wasn't working like it had before, so it was either a self to self transplant (which has a higher success rate and less recovery time) or sibling to self transplant (which has a higher rejection chance and longer recovery). He went with self to self after having to use a experimental drug to get his stem cells to proliferate out to his limbs for retrieval.
Bone cancer can be a tumor on a bone or I think can involve the marrow also.
I am sorry to hear about your niece she was very young. My fil died on Dec. 8th and my own mother passed away back in Jan. of this year, so it has been a rough year for us.
Thanks for praying.
