ST. LOUIS “I was watching my leg die.”
In November of 2019, Orlando Watson, 44, concert promoter and co-owner of Prime 55 Restaurant in the U. City Loop had to make a tough decision.
A sarcoma cancer had formed in his left leg, below the knee. It wasn’t the first time. In 2006, lymphatic cancer had manifested in the same knee. He initially refused traditional chemo and radiation therapy.
