Cancer is an extreme condition that leads to death if untreated. There are different types of cancer and one of them is bone cancer, which refers to tumors affecting the primal structure of the body.
According to the website of NHS, bone cancers usually affect the legs or the upper arms of an individual.
The main symptoms are the following: Experiencing constant bone pain, having bone inflammation and swelling, feeling a noticeable lump in the bone, and having a bone that’s unusually fragile or breaks easily (read: fracture).
The News Journal reported the story of a man who was diagnosed with bone cancer when he was just a kid. According to the source, he is Jason Kotas. In 1995, doctors told him he has the condition.
A tumor the size of a baseball was found in his upper back area and medical professionals suggested he needed to undergo several surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy for over a year.
That’s not all – they also disclosed to his mother that the treatments might leave him sterile. That means he could possibly have no children in the future with anyone else, no matter how fertile the woman might have been.

It wasn’t an issue for Jason but this left his mom anxious – to the point that she told him to ejaculate in a jar so that he could store his sperm there and freeze it. Why? In case Jason wanted to have children in the future.
Jason reportedly refused at first because according to him, he doesn’t want to have kids anyway. But his mom was adamant in because she hoped to have grandkids of her own.
So ejaculate in a jar he did.
After 22 years, when Jason grew up and married someone – a woman named Emily – they thought of having their own family, just like any normal couple.
However, Jason reportedly remembered that he couldn’t have a child anymore since the procedure in his bone cancer treatments left him sterile. But he didn’t forget what his mom had forced him to do.
He checked out the jar which held his frozen sperm. Doctors told them they could have children through the process of in-vitro fertilization since the procedure directly injects the sperm of the man to the woman’s egg cells.
