Arlette Chavez was a typical 3-year-old who loved jumping on the bed, riding her bike, and playing tag, said her mother, Lesly Rivera. When this active preschooler started complaining of pain in her left arm, Ms. Rivera and her husband, Carlos Chavez, weren’t overly concerned – it was probably a minor injury, they reasoned. But when an X-ray revealed a tumor on her left humerus, the bone that runs from the shoulder to the elbow, a biopsy soon confirmed that Arlette had a rare bone and soft tissue cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma. It is diagnosed in only about 200 children and teens each year in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society.
