Jena chose treatment at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia with Dr. Basu Mallick, which included six rounds of AIM chemotherapy, 25 rounds of radiation, followed by successful ‘R0’ limb-sparing surgery with nerve and vein grafts performed by Dr. John Abraham at Rothman Orthopedics. Jena has been NED since March 2022.
